While the national results drew interest, another survey out of Texas produced the most surprising shift.
A University of Texas and Texas Politics Project poll showed Trump with a 44% approval rating in the state, while 55% of Texans said they disapprove of his performance. For a state that traditionally leans conservative, the numbers reflect changing attitudes — particularly on economic issues.
In the Texas poll, 51% of respondents said they disapprove of the administration’s handling of the economy, compared to 39% who approve. When asked about inflation and rising prices, 52% expressed disapproval, and 34% expressed approval. These results suggest that economic concerns are weighing heavily on voters across the state.
Taken together, the two polls reveal a mixed but important picture: nationally, Trump’s approval remains steady but closely contested, while in Texas, some frustration is emerging around cost-of-living issues and economic expectations.
These findings point to a country where opinions continue to be divided — not only on political leadership but also on future outlook and financial stability. With many independent voters still undecided, the next few months could shape how the midterm elections unfold. Whether these numbers reflect temporary uncertainty or the early signs of a larger political shift remains to be seen.
