Donald Trump’s approval categories expand “strong opinions”
President Donald Trump continues to attract voters, as a new survey showed the gap between his consent and the classifications of rejection of the “strong opinions” of the voters of the president.
Last week Economist/Ugov poll It showed that 70 percent of American adults either approve strongly or not strongly agree to Trump’s career performance, compared to only 27 percent who express more moderate opinions. In contrast, on January 19-21, 2025, a partial survey was partly during the presidency of Joe Biden, and 56 percent of Americans were strong opinions about him, while 39 percent expressed more moderate opinions.
Why do it matter
Trump routinely described the positive approval classifications and classifications while speaking at news conferences and campaigns gatherings, but the numbers indicate that Trump is still a character among a few Americans opinions, and they show the extent of attracting voters.
With a much superior support, especially between the Democrats and the very liberal voters, Trump faces an arduous battle to expand his base beyond the base of a sincere republic.

What do you know
Among the Americans who have strong views of Trump, rejection is now much superior to. Forty-seven percent does not reject the strength of his performance-more than 23 percent twice that they agree strongly. This gap is a sharp partisan: 83 percent of Democrats do not reject Trump’s power, compared to 54 percent of Republicans who are strongly agreed. Likewise, 95 percent of the “very liberal” Americans do not firmly reject, while 72 percent of the “very conservative” voters agreed strongly.
This intensity is a modern development. When Trump’s second state began in January 2025, 36 percent of Americans strongly rejected, while 34 percent agreed. While the total share of Americans who have strong opinions remained almost constant at about 70 percent, the balance has turned dramatically over the past year, with approval from 36 percent to 47 percent and strong approval from 34 percent to 23 percent.
Change is reflected in party lines. In January, 71 percent of Republicans have agreed strongly to Trump’s performance; Today this number is 54 percent. Meanwhile, the share of Democrats, who did not agree strongly from 71 percent to 83 percent.
Former presidents also faced greater rejection of approval – for example, 42 percent of Americans did not explain severely from Biden at the end of his term, three times 14 % of those who agreed strongly. However, Trump’s widespread gap highlights how he is currently much more intense than his support.
Come Newsweek Tracker shows that Trump’s approval rating has decreased to the lowest registered point at -11 points, with 43 percent approval and 54 percent of rejection.
Recent opinion polls have suggested that such discontent with Trump is driven by voters’ opinions on a number of issues, including economy, inflation, immigration and foreign policy.
The latest Echelon Insights, which was conducted from August 14 to 18, showed Trump underwater in every major case.
Opinion Pt that Gliott Morris’ Tracker Trump also appears underwater in every case, after he was above water at the beginning of his second term in January, as he does Latest Yougov/Economist Playing.
Yougov/Economist The poll also shows that Trump’s approval categories on major policy issues are very polarized, as more Americans do not refuse more than approval of almost each category.
In jobs and economics, Trump’s most powerful field, 39 percent agreed while not rejecting 54 percent, leaving him in a clear negative position despite his focus on economic supervision. The approval of the severity (24 percent approval strongly) is increased more than many other issues, but it has been overwhelmed by 41 percent who are not strongly rejecting.
Inflation and prices remain a major political responsibility. Only 34 percent approve his dealings with the case compared to 61 percent of those who do not refuse – the widest margin in the data set. With 47 percent of the rejection severely, this issue emphasizes Trump’s central security vulnerability.
This comes with the rise in inflation to 2.7 percent in June and remained as it is in July, despite Trump’s promise to “end inflation on the first day.” Meanwhile, job growth slowed sharply in July, with the addition of only 73,000 jobs, a decrease from 147,000 in the previous month, according to the Labor Statistics Office.
But it is not negative for Trump. On immigration, he publishes his most suitable numbers. He agreed by 46 percent compared to 50 percent of the link, indicating that despite the division of the country, this issue provides a competitive advantage for others. It is worth noting that 34 percent agree strongly – the highest support for support in all areas of politics – which this migration remains a basic mobilization issue of its base.
But while immigration is still its best issue, his approval classification has decreased dramatically Since FebruaryWhen I stood at +11 points. It comes at a time when the administration has followed an aggressive set of policies that lead to Many arrestsBut slow progress in The deportation of unknown immigrants He was convicted of major crimes, as well as clashes on deportations in cities such as Los Angeles.
Opinion polls have also suggested that support for the method of the solid migration line fades.
The Gallup poll showed last month that 30 percent of Americans say that immigration levels should be reduced, a decrease from 55 percent in 2024. The support or increase of migration has increased through the Board of Directors, including Republicans.
On a wider scale, the number of Americans who view migration as a “good thing” has reached 79 percent, and the poll shows itself, which reflects a steady decrease during the presidency of Biden and exceeded the levels of the first period of Trump.
In areas such as climate change, education and miscarriage, Trump is on a weaker ground. Each of them sees more than half of Americans who refuse (52 percent on the climate, 51 percent on education, 52 percent for abortion), with the severity of rejection again higher than the severity of approval.
What people say
Youngov David Montgomery Data Journalist He said: “None of this says anything about what the Americans will think about in Trump in the future. But an important part of understanding the current political opinion is that at the present time, Trump’s opposition is much more intense than his support.”
President Donald Trump This month wrote on Truth Social: “With the exception of what is written and broadcast in fake news, I now have the highest survey numbers I have ever, some of them in the 1960s until the 1970s. Thank you. Make America great again !!!”
What happens after that
Opinion polls and analysts have noticed how low approvals could affect the political scene heading to the middle of the period 2026, because the mid -term trends tend to work against the President’s Party.
