Photo via PoliticoPresident Donald Trump is now 13 points negative on approval and disapproval, a record low for him (11-15-25). He was a major liability for Republican and conservative candidates and causes in the November 4 off-year election. Trump was not on the ballot but his poor reputation was. Democrats swept governor races in New Jersey and Virginia, the Mayor's election in New York, and numerous lower-level elections, including in the south. It even handicapped conservatives in non-partisan city and school elections in Colorado and helped California’s Proposition 50 supporters.
Trump’s net approval began dropping rapidly since the shutdown started on October 1st. Net approval of his handling the shutdown was -27 percent on November 3, 2025 (YouGov).
In general, the public has been unhappy with Trump’s performance on the economy. He has a net -15 and a majority of people report spending more on groceries (71%) and electricity (59%) as reported October 28 (Washington Post, ABC News Ipsos).
In the first major voter test of Trump’s nearly 10 months into his second term, Democrats and more liberal forces swept to victory arguing Trump promised to deliver an economic turnaround had failed. Trump citing the stock market boom was not enough or relevant to their lives
