As the American public watches
large scale immigration raids,
tariffs,
and the scandal surrounding billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein and his clients unfold, President Donald Trump appears to be losing favor with several of his longtime supporting states.
Over 30,000 poll responses compiled by
Civiqs
shows Trump’s approval rating declining in states he won in November 2024, like Alabama and Texas.
His current net approval rating in Alabama sits at 13%, a 9% drop from the net 22% recorded in April.
This reflects a continuous decline in Trump’s approval rating among Alabama voters, according
to several previous polls.
Nationally, Trump currently sits at a -14 net approval rating, with only 41% of voters approving of the way he is handling his job as president, according to Civiqs polling.
“I believe that this map reflects a steady decline of both approval ratings as well as confidence in President Trump’s leadership,” William Hill, an adjunct professor of political science and business at Webster University in St. Louis, recently
told Newsweek.
“In particular, the decline in approval ratings, even by some solidly Red states that have consistently previously demonstrated strong support in the past, especially a state such as Texas, reflects in my view, a deeper and much serious cause for concern for both President Trump as well as his MAGA base.”
The latest polls confirm other surveys that show Trump’s national popularity declining.
RealClear Polling
which encompasses the average of different 15 different pollsters, including outlets such as Fox, ABC, and CNN shows Trump’s overall favorability declining this week to 45.4% that approve and 50.3% that disapprove, according to
a report from USA Today
.
These numbers are nearing his lows at the end of April, after Trump’s first 100 days, when it reached a 52.4% disapproval rating and 45.1% favorable approval rating.
Trump’s approval rating was the lowest for any president finishing their first 100 days in 20 years.
Joe Biden was at 54% after his first 100 days, while Barack Obama was at 62% and George W. Bush had a 63% approval rating at the 100-day mark of their presidencies.

Where is Trump losing favor?
According to polls recently conducted by CNN, 55% of respondents say
the president has gone too far when it comes to deporting immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.
This number is up 10 points since February.
A 57% majority also say they oppose plans to build new detention facilities capable of holding up to 100,000 undocumented immigrants, CNN reports, while 53% oppose increasing the budget for Immigration and Customs Enforcement by billions of dollars — two White House priorities reflected in Trump’s Big, Beautiful Bill.
Voters are also growing increasingly unhappy with the president’s handling of the economy, polls show.
A CBS
poll
released this week also found that 64% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of inflation, while only 35% approve.
This is a noticeable change from March, when 54% disapproved and 46% approved.
The poll found a similar result when asking respondents how they feel about new tariffs on imported goods: 60% said they opposed them, while 40% are in favor.
And it’s not only American voters who are part of the turning tide.
Several conservative lawmakers who have historically been outspoken Trump supporters are
demanding the Department of Justice release files relating to Epstein and his co-conspirators who sexually abused underaged girls provided by him.
In response, Trump has
lashed out at
those asking for the files, calling them “weaklings,” and saying he no longer wanted their support.
