As of early June, Trump has just over half of his second term left in office. Here’s where approval polls stand on Trump, plus North Carolina’s opinions and more.
Recent polls found the following on Trump’s approval rating:
A May 18 study from Carolina Forward collected data from 957 likely general election voters in North Carolina from May 4-8. The study found that Trump’s popularity had continued to sink in the Tar Heel State since the organization’s January poll; in January, his approval rating was 46% and his disapproval rating was 52%, while his May ratings were at 43% approval and 55% disapproval.
The Carolina Forward study also called Gov. Josh Stein “by almost any measure, the most popular figure in North Carolina politics in recent memory,” and noted that his popularity was only continuing to trend upward. The survey found that his net approval climbed from 49% approval and 36% disapproval in January to 51% approval and 35% disapproval in May.
According to results from now-defunct polling website FiveThirtyEight, Trump had a final approval rating of 34% when he left office in 2021. His approval average during his first term was 41%.
