The latest five surveys as each pollster published them, compiled by VoteHub (CC BY 4.0) and retrieved 2026-11-02. 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.

    Trump asks Supreme Court to block 20,000 California midterm ballots

    The Trump administration has appealed to the Supreme Court, alleging that a California list of more than 20,000 ballots includes votes cast by non-US citizens. Multiple courts and independent analyses have rejected the claims. The Justice Department wants California to separate suspected illegal ballots while voter status is checked; the state says the administration’s identification process is likely flawed and error-prone.
