This poll has him above his popular vote totals. Trump has always been a divisive figure, but these polls show all his recent moves are not alienate the people who voted for him, which was the majority of the country. In fact, he’s picked up a percentage or two.

Is there some weighted table published elsewhere? If so, where is it?

You are linking to last week's poll. October 24 - 27, 2025 - 1623 U.S. Adult Citizens
(Maybe RCP had a stale link).

43% is this week's: October 31 - November 3, 2025 - 1656 U.S. Adult Citizens
(page 19)
https://d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/econTabReport_5RO6eos.pdf

Note that RCP incorrectly reports this as "1475 RV", when the39% is actually "1656 US Adult Citizens, of whom 1475 are RV"

Good on you for looking for the data!

No, I confused myself!

This week's poll is still 39%, per my link above!

The discrepancy is probably for weighting, adjusting the poll sample demographics to the US RV demographics.

Margin of error ± 3.4% (adjusted for weighting)
± 3.1% (Registered voters)

39% is pretty low for 10 months in. MTG may have her finger on the pulse of MAGA which doesn’t bode well for Trump’s sycophants.

It took Biden several years to drop that far.

Yup, Trump is already lower with independents than Biden was at his lowest point.

Trump’s Disapproval Hits New High

A new CNN poll finds President Trump’s disapproval rating stands at 63%, marking the numerically highest disapproval rating of either of his two terms.

This surpasses the previous high of 62% recorded as he departed office in January 2021.

He's only 3 points behind Nixon at his worst in August '74 as the whole Watergate scandal unfolded.

He's in the company of the worst President's we've ever had.

American citizens need a return to normalcy after enduring Trump 1st term, Biden, and now Trump 2nd term. Seriously, how did we follow up Trump's disastrous 1st term with bumbling Biden and then commit the mind-boggling sin of electing Trump again? At least Nixon was preceded and succeeded by fit for office presidents. I've never been more discouraged by the low intelligence of the American voters but I still love them, I reckon.

If Biden hadn't run, Trump would have had a second term and we would currently be in the middle of Trump's reign. At least now, we have a chance of getting out of this, but stop blaming Biden and the democrats.

It would have been nearly impossible for Trump to win a second term had the Dem's nominated a normal/fit candidate in 2020 who was capable of serving two terms. Anyone with a pulse could have beaten Trump and his 38% approval rating in 2020. Why nominate someone with a weak record of being popular outside of their home state and someone who wouldn't be viable four years down the road? Just to please the mega-donors is not a good excuse in my opinion.

I blame Sanders for Dems failures in 2016 and 2020. He created an environment which made it impossible for Dems to coalesce against a better candidate. I like some things Sanders does, especially his recent town halls, but if he absolutely a factor in Trump’s rise.

Bernie's stance against capitalism and money in politics ruffled too many feathers in a political landscape dominated by wealthy mega-donors. There is no way in hell the RNC or DNC would allow someone like Sanders to actually become a nominee. Regardless of whether you love or hate Bernie, we should all agree that he should have been given a fair chance.

Pissing off our wealthy mega-donors shouldn't be a factor that disqualifies a candidate.

The guy was allowed to run as a Dem despite being an Independent.

But let’s keep rehashing 2016 and 2020 pp. I agree that your constant shaking your fist at everyone else is so much better then the reality of Trump. I just wonder if it ever gets exhausting or if you will ever find something else to talk about. I guess regurgitating the same talking point over and over on every anonymous thread here works better than somewhere like Reddit.

Now back to talking about crappy approval polls for Trump…
