In the first 3 months of his second term, President Donald Trump achieved the highest approval rating in 20 years as more and more Americans believe the country is on the right track.
President Donald Trump's approval rating is high
Voters have had plenty to digest as they assess President Donald Trump’s first two months in office. Over the past week, his tax policies have changed. He has fought in court over his deportation powers and released documents related to the assassination of former President John F. Kennedy, fulfilling campaign promises. The administration has rehired thousands of employees and worked to negotiate a cease-fire between Russia and Ukraine.

National polls show that President Donald Trump's approval ratings remain high or about the same as they have been in the past. According to an NBC News poll, President Donald Trump has a 47% approval rating, the highest in the network's polling. The poll also found that 44% of voters think the country is headed in the right direction, the highest since 2004, and his personal approval rating, at 46%, is also the highest in both terms. Compared to the Democratic Party, only 27% of voters have a positive view of the party, the lowest since 1990. A CNN poll found similar results, with only 29% of respondents viewing the Democratic Party positively.
The most recent poll from The Economist found that 46% of voters have a positive view of President Donald Trump, while 51% have a negative view. Polls from Fox News and Civiqs found similar results, with President Donald Trump's favorability ratings ranging from 44% to 49%, and his unfavorability ratings ranging from 51% to 53%.
Still, President Donald Trump is seen as making “the right changes” on key issues, including tariffs. Many Americans support his changes on trade policy (41%), despite the negative impact of his decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China.
On other issues, President Donald Trump received support, especially on actions on the border (56% said it was a positive change) and cutting government (47% said it was a good change). Other policies such as handling the conflict in Ukraine and NATO also had more support (41%) than disapproval (40%).
The NBC poll also found voters were more tolerant of him on inflation: 40% said his policies had a positive impact, compared with 30% who said they were negative.
President Donald Trump continues to be a "political test" with a clear division within political parties: 90% of Republican voters support him, while only 4% of Democratic voters do so, the largest difference in the past 80 years.
While President Donald Trump enjoys high approval ratings, the Democratic Party faces a record low approval rating of just 27%, the lowest in NBC's polling history. CNN also recorded the lowest approval rating for the Democratic Party at just 29%.
How do experts rate?
Voters will likely continue to be uncertain about the administration's priorities, especially as the first policies are implemented, and as inflation continues to weigh on the economy and the stock market struggles to recover from a major decline in recent months, said Costas Panagopoulos, chair of the political science department at Northeastern University.
President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have improved since the start of his second term. However, things have become more polarized since then. Although President Trump enjoyed the highest approval ratings of his political career during the first three months of his second term, there are still clear divisions in public opinion on the major issues facing him.
Despite the political polarization, one positive sign for President Donald Trump is that the percentage of voters who believe the country is headed in the right direction has reached 44%, the highest level in two decades. This marks an improvement from last September, when only 28% of people had a positive view of the country's direction.
Government moves and their impact on public opinion
During his second term, one of President Donald Trump’s major decisions was to create the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), an initiative aimed at reducing the federal budget deficit. Despite opposition from government employees and Democratic lawmakers, DOGE still received support from a segment of voters, with 46% in favor and 40% opposed.
NBC News' survey also found that many Americans are skeptical about the way the media covers President Donald Trump, with 46% saying the media is too critical of him, 25% saying the media is too favorable, and only 24% saying the media is fair.
The poll, conducted with 1,000 registered voters from March 7 to 11, shows that the US political landscape is highly polarized, and although President Donald Trump receives great support from Republican voters, he still faces many challenges in maintaining public support and managing the country's major issues.
