Decline in Trump's Approval Ratings Among Republican Base
Nov, 12 2025
This decline follows the 2025 elections, where Democrats achieved significant victories, and comes ahead of federal lawmakers' efforts to address a government shutdown. Disapproval among Democrats has also intensified, rising from 89% in March to 95% now.
Overall, Trump’s approval rating for his handling of the federal government has decreased by 10 percentage points, from 43% in March to 33% at present. His overall approval rating remains relatively stable, with a slight increase in disapproval from 61% in October to 62% this month.
In terms of specific issues, Trump's approval rating for health care has seen a slight increase from 31% to 34%, while his approval for economic management has decreased from 36% to 33%. This decline in approval ratings among his core supporters may suggest a growing rift within the Republican Party, raising questions about the implications for party unity and future electoral strategies.
