Trump's Approval Looking Good in Swing States
David Strom 8:00 AM | July 10, 2025
Political geeks often obsess about poll numbers, but outside election years, we tend only to have access to national numbers.
National approval ratings are not irrelevant, of course, but they don't actually tell you what political geeks need to know to gauge potential election outcomes. Political players in Washington, though, care much more about what their specific constituents think, not what the vast number of voters in coastal cities do.
We all know that Trump's approval numbers in New York City, Washington, Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Chicago will be in the toilet. The big question is how he is doing in swing states and districts, because those people decide who will be elected to Congress in 2026.
Senators and Congressmen are very sensitive to the president's poll numbers, which in many cases matter more than their own. Most Congressmen are hardly known even in their districts, and voters often take their frustrations with the president out on more local elected officials when the president is not on the ballot.
