President Donald Trump's approval stands at 48% compared to 50% who disapprove, according to a new survey published today on X (Thursday) by Quantus Insights, a polling firm which mapped the 2024 electorate better than most.

Meanwhile, the generic ballot for the coming 2026 midterm elections shows Democrats with a slight edge - 44% to 42% for the GOP - with substantial numbers of voters being undecided thus far.

College educated Americans, traditionally more hostile to Trump than the non-college educated, now support Trump at 47%, just one percentage point below the non-college educated.
