A new poll from Quantus Insights shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating holding steady, with support and opposition nearly evenly split—a trend consistent since April. While his overall job performance remains stable, the survey revealed a striking surge in approval among Black male voters.
Just five years after 87 percent of Black male voters supported Joe Biden, 49 percent of respondents in the latest poll said they approve of Trump’s job performance. Among Black voters overall, 39 percent expressed a favorable view of the president, continuing a trend that emerged throughout the 2024 campaign cycle.
“The real headline, though, is Black voters: Trump posts 39% approval overall, with 49% of Black men backing him, a historic high for a Republican. It’s not a realignment yet, but it’s no longer an outlier. The once-solid bloc is showing its first visible fractures,” Quantus Insights lead pollster Jason Corley wrote in his analysis of the poll.
By area type, 50 percent of urban voters gave Trump a positive job approval rating, putting him two points above water in that demographic. In the suburbs, Trump remained slightly underwater, with 45 percent approving and 52 percent disapproving of his performance.
Surprisingly, Trump’s favorability among rural voters was roughly even, though pollster Corley noted that rural populations are often underrepresented in surveys.
The gender gap followed a familiar pattern seen across major polling firms. Fifty-six percent of white male respondents support the president, while 57 percent of men aged 18 to 29 expressed a favorable opinion—giving Trump a +17 edge among a demographic that overwhelmingly backed Joe Biden in 2020.
