Recent polling data indicates that Donald Trump's approval rating stands at 48%, with 50% of voters disapproving of him as of August 11, 2025, according to the Republican-affiliated Rasmussen Poll. While Trump voters continue to trust Republicans more than Democrats on various issues, there is a noted net disapproval of Trump's initiatives, suggesting broader political challenges. Interestingly, Trump supporters have shown increased trust in traditionally liberal professions such as professors, universities, teachers, and journalists, despite these institutions maintaining their left-leaning and progressive stances. Additionally, Trump voters have become more liberal on immigration issues since his election, even though there is no evidence that these professions have moderated their ideological positions. These findings highlight a complex shift in voter attitudes within Trump's base.
