The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-10-24. 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.

PoliticsCan Trump really pay $5,000 to every American adult?

Donald Trump has promised every American adult $5,000 if Republicans win November’s midterm elections. Analysts question whether the proposal is legal, affordable or workable. JD Vance suggested tariff revenue could fund it, but current receipts fall far short of the estimated $1.3tn cost, and Congress would likely need to authorise the spending.
