President Donald Trump’s net approval rating among male voters has declined, according to a recent Focaldata/Financial Times poll. The survey, conducted from June 26 to June 30, 2026, found Trump’s net approval among men dropped to -19, down from -13 in June, marking a six-point decline in roughly one month. This shift is notable as men were a critical voting bloc for Trump in the 2024 election, where he won male voters by 12 percent over then-Vice President Kamala Harris, per Pew Research Center data.
Polling Overview
The Focaldata survey, which polled 2,016 adults and was weighted by demographics, also found Trump’s overall approval at 34 percent versus a 57 percent disapproval rating. Other major polling groups, including RealClearPolitics and Ballotpedia, report Trump’s approval rating between 37 percent and 41 percent as of July 6, 2026. Emerson College and The Economist/YouGov place his approval at 39 percent and 40 percent, respectively, while ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos and CNN both show 37 percent.
Republican Support Remains Strong
Despite the decline in overall approval, Trump’s support among Republicans remains robust, with approval ratings between 75 percent and 82 percent across major national networks. A recent PBS News/NPR/Marist poll placed his party approval at 82 percent.
White House Response
White House Spokesman Davis Ingle responded to the poll with a statement emphasizing Trump’s electoral victory and policy achievements: “The ultimate poll was November 5th 2024 when nearly 80 million Americans overwhelmingly elected President Trump to deliver on his popular and commonsense agenda. No other President in history has accomplished more for the American people than President Trump, who is working tirelessly to create jobs, cool inflation, increase housing affordability, and more.”
Economic Concerns
Recent polling has shown growing voter dissatisfaction over the economy, inflation, and the cost of living, issues that consistently rank among Americans’ top concerns ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The Focaldata survey fits into a broader pattern of slipping approval for the president on these fronts.
