No Surprises in New National Marquette Poll

The president enjoys an 86% approval rating among Republicans, and a 93% disapproval rating among Democrats.

Republicans Yes, Democrats No

Republicans across the country continue to really like President Trump, while Democrats continue to really dislike him according to the latest Marquette Law School Poll.

The new poll that came out Wednesday shows no surprises.

“President Donald Trump’s overall approval rating stands at 45%, with 55% disapproval. In May, approval was 46% and disapproval was 54%. Republicans and Trump voters continue to express strong approval, while Democrats are almost uniformly negative,” pollsters noted.

The president enjoys an 86% approval rating among Republicans, and a 93% disapproval rating among Democrats. Notably, 38% of independents approve of the president, while 62% disapprove.

Trump voters, the poll notes, have even stronger feelings about the president.

“There is no evidence that Trump voters are rethinking their support. Among those who voted for Trump in November, 91% approve of the job he is doing,” Marquette’s pollsters stated. “Among those who voted for the Democratic candidate…96% disapprove.”

There are similar, though not as strong, political splits on the issues. The Marquette Poll shows strong support for deportations among Republicans. Republicans also strongly support the president’s border security plans, stance on the war between Israel and Hamas, and his overall handling of the economy.

The Marquette Poll shows that the economy, prices, and the cost of living remains the most important issue to voters.

“Inflation and the cost of living is rated as the most important issue by 34%, followed by the economy at 16%. Medicare and Social Security is rated the third most important issue at 14%, followed by immigration and border security at 13%,” pollsters wrote.

Marquette says the poll was conducted July 7-16, 2025, interviewing 1,005 adults nationwide, with a margin of error of +/-3.4 percentage points.
