Quantus Insights – June 12 National Poll Summary
A Nation Still Split, and Sharply So
Based on a survey of 1,000 registered voters conducted June 9–11, this latest Quantus Insights poll captures a public that remains divided on the president, the parties, and the path ahead.
Presidential Job Approval
Donald Trump sits at 47.5% approval, 49.1% disapproval. That’s a slim net disapproval of –1.6 points, down slightly from our last poll. His base remains solid, but independents continue to show weak or conditional support.
Immigration Policy Approval
When asked about Trump’s immigration policies—including deportation—52% approve, 46% disapprove. The numbers suggest that while specific actions like deportation draw higher support, the broader label of “immigration policy” brings more hesitation.
Economic Direction vs. Performance
Voters disagree that Trump’s economic policies are moving the country in the right direction:
42% agree, 52% disagree.
On the more direct question of performance—is he handling the economy well?—he’s underwater by the same margin:
44% approve, 54% disapprove (–10 net).
This gap shows voters are simply fatigued from years of economic conditions that have strained their pocketbooks.
National Guard Deployment to Los Angeles
A majority—51% approve, 45% disapprove—support Trump’s decision to send the National Guard to Los Angeles amid recent unrest. It’s one of his better-performing issues, signaling public frustration with disorder and broad backing for strong-handed response.
Vice President J.D. Vance
Vance posts a 42% approval, 47% disapproval (–5 net). Less polarizing than Trump but also less defined, his numbers suggest most voters haven’t fully formed an opinion.
Party Approval Ratings
Republican Party: 42% approve, 52% disapprove
Democratic Party: 36% approve, 58% disapprove
Both parties remain underwater. The GOP's edge is modest, but the Democrats hit a new low in overall approval.
2026 Congressional Outlook
Generic ballot:
Republican candidate: 43%
Democratic candidate: 43%
Undecided: 14%
Senate control preference:
Prefer GOP: 43%
Prefer Democrats: 44%
Undecided: 13%
These are deadlock numbers. No side has clear momentum.
Trusted Party by Issue
When asked which party they trust more to handle major issues, voters break along familiar lines—but express frustration with both.
· Republicans dominate on immigration, crime, and the economy.
· Democrats hold ground on education and healthcare (+21 margin).
· Debt and spending? One-third (33%) trust neitherparty—a clear indictment of both.
Who Has Earned Voters’ Support?
When asked which party has done more to earn their trust heading into 2026:
Republicans: 39%
Democrats: 32%
Neither: 23%
Unsure: 6%
The GOP holds a +7 lead, but nearly one in three voters refuse to back either party—a sign of apathy or waiting to be convinced.
