Donald Trump's Approval Rating Underwater in Key Swing State

President Donald Trump's approval rating has gone underwater in Nevada, a swing state that he won in the 2024 election.

According to polling by Morning Consult, the proportion of people who approve of Trump declined from 52 percent in March to 47 percent in September.

Newsweek reached out to the White House by email to comment on the matter, but there was no response.

Importance of Swing States

Swing states like Nevada were crucial in determining the result of the 2024 presidential election and securing Trump his second term in the White House.

In 2024, Trump won Nevada in what was the first Republican presidential victory in the state since 2004, after losing the state's six electoral votes in 2016 and 2020 by less than 2.5 percentage points.

Potential Impact on Midterms

If Trump loses the support of Nevada voters, it might affect the Republican Party's performance in the November 2026 midterms.

No comment from the White House.
