Here's what several new polls say about Trump's approval rating
Four leading pollsters released surveys this week, amid the president's controversial National Guard deployments to the nation's capital. Here's what they say.
www.usatoday.comHere are the latest publicly reported signals on Donald Trump's approval, drawn from recent polling coverage (dates vary by pollster). Note that approval figures bounce week to week and by methodology.
- Most recent polls show Trump’s approval in the low-to-mid 40s range, with disapproval in the mid-40s to mid-50s depending on the poll. For example, several trackers in late 2024 through 2025 reported approvals around 40–49% and disapproval often around 50% or higher, leading to mixed net approval results.[1][3][6]
- Some campaigns and outlets highlighted brief bumps tied to specific issues (e.g., cost of living or economy) that raised approval modestly for short periods, though later readings often returned to prior levels or lower as events evolved.[4][5][1]
- Overall trend across multiple polls in 2025–early 2026 showed ongoing partisan division, with Republicans more favorable and Democrats more negative, while independents tended to be less favorable to Trump relative to partisans.[2][3]
If you’d like, I can pull the most recent three to five polls with dates, sample sizes, and methodologies, and summarize them in a quick chart. I can also filter to a specific region (e.g., nationwide vs. California) or focus on a particular pollster.
Would you like me to compile that snapshot?
