Trump’s Approval Ratings See Significant Dip in New York, Siena College Poll Reveals
TL/DR –
A new Siena College poll shows that Donald Trump is losing support from Republicans, with his approval rating dropping from 86-10% last month to 78-20% this month. His approval rating in the downstate suburbs also fell from 58-41% to 46-51%. Despite criticism on issues like inflation and national unity, Trump receives positive feedback from New Yorkers on his handling of the fentanyl crisis, and while Democrats largely disapprove of his performance on key issues, a majority of Republicans and some Independents continue to support him.
New Yorkers, who understand Donald Trump better than anyone else, are expressing disapproval for his second term only a month in.
A recent Siena College poll released on Monday reveals Trump’s diminishing support among Republicans.
Pollster Steven Greenberg noted, “Trump’s approval rating slipped significantly since last month due to falling approval from Republicans and downstate suburbs.”
Political analyst Tom Watson indicates that his declining popularity in the downstate suburbs continues.
Despite being criticized on inflation, unity, and ally relations, Trump receives positive remarks from New Yorkers for his efforts against fentanyl, the poll reveals.
Greenberg adds, “Despite his overall job approval rating being negative, voters are split on Trump’s actions for the country’s immigration system. Independents applaud Trump’s performance on six issues.”
CNN highlights that internet searches for “Trump” and “chaos” are at a record high.
A poll anticipates Gov. Kathy Hochul leading the upcoming 2026 Democratic primary with 46% support, dwarfing Lt. Governor Antonio Delgado (11%) and Rep. Ritchie Torres (10%).
