Donald Trump's public standing has plummeted across the United States since the start of his second term in January 2025. A Civiqs tracker indicates that the president is now underwater in most states as of June 11, 2026.

The 36 Percent National Floor and the Youth Gap

Nationally, Donald Trump maintains an approval rating of 36 percent, while 59 percent of registered voters disapprove of his performance, according to the Civiqs tracker. This national figure masks a profound generational divide; among adults aged 18 to 34, approval sinks to just 21 percent, with 72 percent expressing disapproval. The data suggests that the president's ability to appeal to younger demographics has almost entirely evaporated.

Education and gender also serve as primary fault lines in the current political landscape.. As the report says, postgraduates show a stark disapproval rate of 71 percent compared to 25 percent approval. While men remain more divided at a 52-to-42 disapproval margin, women disapprove of Donald Trump by a significant 65-to-30 margin, indicating a widening gender gap in the second term.

Idaho's 23-Point Slide and the Fraying Red Wall

The most alarming trend for the Republican base is not the opposition in blue states, but the erosion of support in the heartland. In January 2025 , Idaho began the term with a net approval of +34, but that figure has since collapsed to +11—a 23-point drop.. Similarly, West Virginia saw its net approval slide from +35 to +13, a decline of 22 points.

This pattern reflects a broader trend where even the most loyal Republican strongholds are seeing their margins narrow . While Wyoming remains the president's strongest state with a net approval of +25, that is a far cry from the +47 rating it held on January 20, 2025. this suggests that the "red wall" is not merely cracking but is actively receding in states that previously provided an ironclad mandate.

Florida and Ohio's Pivot to Net Negative

The shift in battleground states presents the most immediate political risk for the administration. According to the Civiqs tracker, Florida has swung from a positive +9 net approval in January 2025 to a negative -13. Ohio has seen a similar reversal, dropping from +8 to -14. These are not marginal shifts;they represent a total inversion of the president's standing in states that typically decide national outcomes.

The volatility extends to other critical regions. Nevada has fallen from an even 0 to -20, and North Carolina has moved from 0 to -15. Pennsylvania, which started at -3, has dipped further to -17. The fact that every single state in the tracker shows a lower net approval rating than on the first day of the term indicates a systemic decline in popularity across the entire American map.

What drove Kentucky's shift from +23 to -4?

One of the most baffling data points in the report is the collapse of support in Kentucky. The state began the second term with a robust +23 net approval,only to end up at -4 by June 2026 .. This 21-point swing is particularly significant because it represents a total wipeout of a previously secure advantage in a deep-red state.

However, the source provides the what but not the why. It remains unknown which specific policies or events triggered such a sharp reversal in Kentucky, and the report does not include comments from the White House or local Kentucky officials to explain the volatility. Furthermore, the data does not specify if this decline was gradual or tied to a specific legislative catalyst, leaving a critical gap in understanding the president's current vulnerability.
