The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-09-30. We only display them — no calculation, weighting or editing. A single survey often reports all adults and registered voters separately, so the same pollster and dates can appear twice; where approve and disapprove add up to less than 100%, the rest were unsure or did not answer.
