President Donald Trump 's approval rating has flipped with white voters.

According to polling by The Economist /You Gov, the proportion of white voters who support Trump has increased by 8 percentage points after it previously declined. The polling rebound means Trump's approval rating among the demographic is now positive.

Why It Matters

White people are a key group in Trump's base. More than 8 in 10 Trump voters in the 2024 election were white, according to the Associated Press. Pew Research Center found that 55 percent of white voters voted for Trump in 2024 and 2020 and that 54 percent of white people opted for him in 2016.

Maintaining the base will be important for the Republican Party more broadly when voters head to the polls for the midterms in November 2026.
