President Donald Trump is now reported to have an unfavorable approval rating in 15 states he won during the 2024 presidential election, according to the latest data shared by the Economist.

Trump is now reported to have a negative approval rating in 15 of the 31 states he won, including the battleground states of Michigan (-11%), Nevada (-12%), North Carolina (-8%), Wisconsin (-13%), Arizona (-12%), Pennsylvania (-12%) and Georgia (-6%), as well as the commonly conservative states of Texas (-8%), Ohio (-6%), Utah (-5%), Iowa (-4%), Kansas (-4%), Florida (-3%), Indiana (-3%) and Missouri (-2%). Trump is reported to be "lowest in states that tend to vote for Democrats" and lost to former Vice President Kamala Harris during the 2024 election such as Washington, D.C. (-73%), California (-31%), New York (-24%), Maryland (-36%), Massachusetts (-36%) and Washington (-28%).

The president is, however, retaining positive approval ratings in several deep Republican states such as Alabama (+12%), Alaska (+10%), Arkansas (+25%), Kentucky (_9%) and South Carolina (+16%). Last week, Morning Consult survey reported that Trump's approval rating once again took a downward turn after seeing a brief rebound.

The poll showed that Trump's "approval rebound looks to be over" as only 46% of respondents approved his job performance and 52% disapproved, mirroring responses from earlier polls conducted through April and early May amid criticism over his sweeping tariffs.

“Following a few weeks of improved numbers, Trump’s approval ratings are once again trending downward,” the Morning Consult analysis states. "Our latest survey shows 46% approve and 52% disapprove of his job performance, similar to his standing throughout much of April and in early May, when his global trade war was inducing acute economic anxiety among Americans."

The survey was shared after nationwide 'No Kings' protests in response to Trump's immigration policies, as well as backlash over his handling of the Israel-Iran conflict, as it was conducted between June 13 to June 15 among 2,207 registered U.S. voters with a plus of minus 2% margin of error.
