AP-NORC Poll: Support for Trump’s Management of Government Plummets, Driven by GOP Discontent
- On Nov. 6-10, the AP-NORC poll found approval of President Donald Trump's government management fell to 33% from 43%, driven largely by declines among Republicans and independents.
- Amid the shutdown and recent government changes, the AP-NORC survey shows discontent with agency cuts and layoffs, conducted after Democrats' recent victories but before Congress acted on the shutdown and Jan. 1 tax credit expiration.
- The AP-NORC's breakdown shows 95% of Democrats disapprove, 68% of Republicans approve, and independents' approval dropped from 38% to 25%.
- The poll highlights tangible shutdown effects, such as snarled air travel, unpaid federal workers and affected food aid, but President Donald Trump's overall approval among U.S. adults remains steady.
- On Nov. 5, 2025, demonstrators, some dressed as characters from The Handmaid's Tale, protested in Washington; the AP-NORC poll says approval might rebound if the government reopens.
