Public opinion on Donald Trump remains split nationally, but New Yorkers are largely disapproving, according to multiple polls. While some surveys, like Rasmussen’s, give him a slim edge in favorability, others—including Quinnipiac and The Economist—show him trailing significantly. Morning Consult, Gallup, and others reflect a broader national divide, hovering around the mid-40s in approval.
In New York, the numbers are even starker. A recent Civiqs poll found only 36% of residents view Trump favorably, with 61% unfavorable. Statewide concerns are mounting over proposed federal cuts that could strip food aid, Medicaid, and school meals from millions.
These ratings reflect more than public opinion—they could impact Trump’s legislative clout and election prospects, as approval metrics often guide voter sentiment and political momentum.
