Trump’s Birthday State-By-State Poll Map Shows Narrowing Margins
CivIQs’ rolling poll released on Trump’s 80th birthday shows a national 36% approval (59% disapproval) and a state map that preserves the familiar partisan split but with much thinner margins than at the start of his second term. Wyoming remains the strongest at +25, while several red-leaning states have swung negative—Kentucky from +23 to -4, Montana from +25 to +1, Idaho from +34 to +11, and Florida from +9 to -13. Ohio (-14) and Nevada (-20) also show sizable declines; North Carolina (-15), Pennsylvania (-17), and Georgia (-20) join a list of battlegrounds now underwater. Deep blue states like Hawaii (-61) and California (-46) stay firmly negative. A cluster of mid-map states sit near the line, suggesting less stability than earlier in the term. The White House cites the 2024 election victory as mandate, while stressing polling is only one measure of public support.
