### Trump's Approval Rating Among African Americans
As of early October 2025, President Donald Trump's approval rating among African Americans remains historically low, hovering around **11-15%** based on the most recent major polls. This marks a significant decline from the 16-20% support he garnered from Black voters in the 2024 election, where he made modest gains compared to 2020 (8%). The drop appears tied to dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, inflation, immigration policies, and perceived rollbacks on civil rights issues, according to analysts and pollsters.
#### Recent Polling Data
Here's a summary of key polls from 2025 focusing on Black/African American respondents:
| Pollster/Source | Date Conducted | Approval % | Disapproval % | Net Rating | Sample Size (Overall) | Notes |
|-----------------|----------------|------------|---------------|------------|-----------------------|-------|
| The Economist/YouGov | Aug 1-4, 2025 | 11% | 84% | -73 | 1,702 adults | Sharpest recent drop; down 25 points from May's -47 net. |
| Fox News | Sep 2025 (exact date unspecified) | ~23% (implied) | 77% | ~-54 | Not specified | Highlights erosion of 2024 gains ahead of 2026 midterms. |
| Decision Desk HQ Aggregate | Mid-Jun 2025 (latest tracker) | ~14% (implied) | ~86% | ~-72 | Aggregated | Disapproval hit first-term highs; overall Trump approval at -7 net nationally. |
| McLaughlin & Associates | Jun 12-15, 2025 | 30% | 70% | -40 | 2,000 registered voters | Higher outlier; up slightly from April but still low. |
| Emerson College | Jun 24-25, 2025 | ~23% (implied) | ~77% | -54 | 1,000 registered voters | Minor boost from April but trending downward overall. |
- **Trends**: Approval started higher post-inauguration (e.g., 24-29% in Feb-Mar per YouGov and McLaughlin), peaked briefly around 22-35% in May (Decision Desk HQ average), but has sunk since June amid economic concerns and policy backlash. Gallup noted a 9-point early rise among Black adults (to ~20-25%) due to shifting party ID, but later data shows reversal.
- **Context**: Black voters overwhelmingly disapprove (70-86% across polls), with net ratings as low as -73—far worse than Trump's +13 net among white voters. Issues like inflation (cited by 60%+ as top concern) and immigration drive the sentiment, per Pew and Northeastern University analysis. This could impact GOP midterm strategy, as 2024's 15-20% Black vote share (per Pew/AP exit polls) was a high-water mark.
Polls can vary by methodology (e.g., McLaughlin leans Republican), so aggregates like Decision Desk HQ provide a balanced view. For real-time updates, check sources like Gallup or YouGov trackers. If you want breakdowns by age/gender or comparisons to other groups, let me know!
