New polling shows that partisanship in the United States has reached new heights with less than 1% of Democrats satisfied with the direction of the country under President Donald Trump compared to 76% of Republicans.

Gallup released a survey this week in which they noted they recorded their highest gap on that metric when asking whether people are happy with the current direction of the country. A total of 76% of Republicans said they are satisfied, but 0% of Democrats felt the same.

Gallup reported:

Partisanship is also at a peak on this metric, with 76% of Republicans saying they are satisfied with the direction of the country versus less than 1% of Democrats. The resulting 76-point gap is the highest Gallup has recorded on this measure, although not substantially different from a 75-point gap in May and 74 points in March and July. Before this year, the parties had differed by more than 70 points on satisfaction only once, in October 2004 before that year’s presidential election.

A quarter of independents also said they are satisfied with the country’s direction. Satisfaction among Democrats has been in the single digits for Trump’s entire time in office this year. The exact total for their latest data is 0.4%, rounded down to 0%.

The president’s overall job approval sits at 40% in the Gallup poll, which is about the same as the 41% approval rating he received at the same time during his first term.

Broken down by party affiliation, 93% of Republicans approve of Trump’s performance, while just 1% of Democrats agree. Gallup reported that this 92-point gap was the biggest difference on job performance since October 2020.

The poll was conducted August 1-20 among more than 1,000 US adults and it carries a margin of error of 4%.
