Map shows Trump's approval rating in each state after 10 months
Newsweek, 11/29/25

Recent Civiqs polling underscores that Trump’s popularity remains highest in traditionally Republican states such as Wyoming and Idaho.
But the president continues to face significant headwinds in Democratic states such as Hawaii and battleground states like Michigan. Overall, Civiqs puts his net approval at 39 percent, with his net disapproval rating standing at 56 percent. ((that's a net approval rating of -17% in my book (39-56). I think they mistakenly included "net" twice in that above sentence -progree))
According to a new state-by-state breakdown, Trump‘s approval ratings remain positive in several Republican-dominated states, with the highest net approvals in Wyoming (+34 percent), West Virginia (+27 percent), Idaho (+23 percent), North Dakota (+18 percent), Montana (+17 percent), and Oklahoma (+17 percent).
Conversely, the president is experiencing significant disapproval in historically Democratic states, according to the polling. Hawaii reports a net approval of -55 percent, Vermont sits at -50 percent, Maryland at -44 percent, Massachusetts at -42 percent, California and Rhode Island at -40 percent, and Washington and Oregon at -36 percent.
