President Donald Trump’s net favorability rating is even among American voters, according to the latest Issues & Insights/TIPP Poll. The survey found that 45 percent of voters view Trump favorably, while another 45 percent view him unfavorably. Six percent said they were not familiar enough to say and another four percent said they were not sure. “The TIPP Poll has the much-coveted distinction as the most accurate poll of this century, being the only poll to accurately predict the winner of the last five U.S. presidential elections,” TIPP Insights says.
Trump’s approval rating has been fluctuating since he returned to office in January. His administration has in recent weeks faced an outcry over its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, with even some of the president’s supporters calling for more transparency. Voters have also expressed discontent with Trump’s tariff policies and his approach to immigration. Several recent polls have found Trump’s net approval rating remains underwater, which could spell trouble for Republicans ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
