Beacon Poll Finds 51% of Tennessee Voters Disapprove of President Trump's Job Performace

 Beacon, September 3, 2026- Today, we released the latest installment of the Beacon Poll, a statewide
survey of 1,200 Tennessee voters featuring questions about voters’ views on artificial intelligence, data centers, and the forthcoming November general election.

Senator Marsha Blackburn starts out with a commanding 21-point advantage over Democrat Jerri Green in the race for governor, 55% to 34% among likely voters. Blackburn’s big lead comes after a hard-fought and divisive Republican primary against Congressman John Rose and state Rep. Monty Fritts that left some bruised feelings within the party, but any lingering divisions have not yet dented her standing heading into November.

In a surprising twist, President Trump’s job approval in deep-red Tennessee has gone underwater for the first time since Beacon began polling the state in 2023, with just 48% of voters approving of his job performance and 51% disapproving (-3%).
