Here’s what MAGA patriots need to know.
As the mainstream media rushes to declare trouble for President Donald J. Trump, new polling out of critical swing states is being weaponized to suggest his support is fading. But seasoned voters—and anyone who remembers the polling failures of 2016 and 2020—know better than to take early numbers at face value.
Despite reports that Trump’s approval rating is “underwater” in several battleground states, the big picture tells a different story. With the 2026 midterm elections fast approaching, this moment provides a key glimpse into how voters are reacting to President Trump’s second term—and whether Democrats can gain any real traction.
Let’s take a closer look at the numbers—and what they really mean.
🗳️ What the Polls Say About President Trump’s Approval in Battleground States
The latest polling, compiled from Civiqs tracking surveys, provides insights into where Trump stands with registered voters in key states that will likely decide control of Congress in 2026.
These states—Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin—were critical in the last three elections. Most flipped back to red in 2024, helping President Trump secure his historic return to the White House.
📊 Arizona
- 49% disapprove, 47% approve, 4% neutral
- Trump won Arizona in 2024 with 52.2% of the vote
Arizona remains a key test case. With open desert borders and a large veteran population, the state continues to lean toward Trump’s America First message.
📊 Georgia
- 51% disapprove, 45% approve, 4% undecided
- Trump won Georgia with 50.7% in 2024
Despite the polling, Georgia has been trending Republican, and Trump’s base is energized after seeing the state swing back red last cycle.
📊 Michigan
- 50% disapprove, 46% approve, 4% neutral
- Trump narrowly won Michigan in 2024 with 49.7%
With blue-collar jobs and auto manufacturing back in the spotlight, Michigan is ripe for another conservative surge in 2026.
📊 Nevada
- 49% disapprove, 47% approve
- Trump shocked the establishment by flipping Nevada in 2024 with 50.6% of the vote
This marked the first GOP win in the state in 20 years. His message on jobs, crime, and energy independence continues to resonate.
📊 Pennsylvania
- 51% disapprove, 45% approve, 4% undecided
- Trump captured 50.4% of the Keystone State in 2024
Pennsylvania is a bellwether for how suburban and rural voters respond to strong leadership and economic results.
📊 Wisconsin
- 51% disapprove, 46% approve, 3% neutral
- Trump won Wisconsin with 49.6%, flipping it back from blue to red
This heartland state will again be a fierce battleground in 2026—but Trump’s Midwestern message remains powerful.
📣 Media Panic vs. Political Reality
Predictably, the liberal press is sounding the alarm. They’re painting these approval ratings as signs of weakness, hoping to spark division and doubt among conservatives.
But President Trump quickly shot down the negative spin on Truth Social, posting:
“The Polls from the Fake News are, like the News itself, FAKE! We are doing GREAT, better than ever before.”
And House Speaker Mike Johnson agreed, saying the GOP is “playing offense” going into the 2026 midterms.
🧠 Why These Polls Don’t Tell the Full Story
Polling experts are cautioning against overreliance on these early numbers. Jack Dozier from Yale Youth Poll told Newsweek:
“This only reflects the first 100 days of Trump’s return. The long-term impact hasn’t even begun to show.”
Indeed, at this point in Biden’s presidency, the media was still riding high on inflated approval numbers—before reality hit.
🔎 Democrats Hope for Momentum, But Will It Hold?
Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) tried to spin Trump’s numbers as a sign that activism is “working,” but Republicans are seeing steady grassroots energy—especially in swing districts.
Up next are state elections in Virginia and New Jersey, which will offer the first early indicators of voter mood. But all roads lead to the 2026 midterm elections, where control of the House and Senate will be at stake.
✅ The Takeaway for Conservative Voters
Poll numbers may rise and fall, but what matters most is real-world results—something President Trump continues to deliver on:
- Border security is being restored
- The economy is stabilizing
- America’s global standing is strengthening
- And traditional values are back in the spotlight
Don’t let early polling dampen enthusiasm. The left is trying to control the narrative—but patriots across the country are staying focused, energized, and ready to take 2026 by storm.
