Trump's favorability with Republicans continues to slide

By the numbers: Trump's support among Republicans and Republican-leaning Americans fell from 92% in January, to 83% this week.

• Trump's overall net approval rating, or "the percent who approve minus the percent who disapprove", is -12, per the poll.
• A -12 approval rating, while negative, is higher than the -15 rating he received at this point in his first term.

Zoom in: The poll comes as Trump has pushed Texas Republicans to take the unusual move of trying to redraw congressional maps to craft five more GOP seats.

• Texas Democrats are avoiding their state in an attempt to deny Republicans a quorum, and several blue states are getting behind the idea of starting redistricting battles at home to fight back.
• Only 16% of Republicans think states should be allowed to redraw more favorable congressional districts, while 57% say they should not.
• Comparatively, 6% of Democrats think states should be able to redraw districts, 80% say they should not.

Zoom out: Americans have been particularly stubborn about one issue: 48% expect inflation to increase in the next six months.

• That's the most Americans bracing for inflation since October 2023, according to previous polls by Economist and YouGov.
• Financial anxiety could be affecting consumer spending as Trump's trade war begins to show up in inflation data.

The fine print: The opt-in poll surveyed 1,635 U.S. adult citizens, and utilized their party identification as of November 8, 2024. The margin of error for the overall sample is approximately 3.5%.
