What is Trump's approval rating in Illinois? See early 2026 polls

Early 2026 polls show Trump’s approval rating fluctuates between 35% and 44%, reflecting divided public opinion amid controversies and policy impacts, according to multiple sources.

  • On Jan. 12, 2026, national polls show President Donald Trump facing mixed approval across multiple surveys compiled by polling organizations and data dashboards.
  • Public reaction to the Jan. 3 capture of Nicolás Maduro influenced polls, while controversy over Jeffrey Epstein files corresponded with higher disapproval among poll respondents.
  • Reuters/Ipsos and Civiqs data indicate 42% approve in the Jan. 5 poll while early-January Civiqs shows 41% favorable and 56% unfavorable views of Trump.
  • The approval being underwater could hurt the Republican Party’s off-year elections and electoral prospects in the 2026 midterm elections, likely boosting Democratic chances.
  • Aggregators trace a November drop and subsequent stabilization, noting Trump's approval fell from about 52% in January 2025 to roughly 44% in April, then largely stabilized.
