Civiqs poll (National, White):
"Do you approve or disapprove of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president?" Results through February 17, 2026: Approve 47%, Disapprove 49%, Neither approve nor disapprove 5%.
A big looming question is what happens when Trump is no longer in office. Republicans who want to get re-elected when he’s gone care about approval ratings, especially if the negative polling includes parts of their base.
Most of these guys were anti-Trump at some point. I don’t think they all believe he’ll seize indefinite power somehow and they’ll all be forever insulated from elections.
