Donald Trump's Approval Rating Soar In Polls

Newsweek, May 20, 2025. President Donald Trump approval rating continues to soar from election day today! Incredible, unprecedented. Never happened to a US President before.

What To Know

The latest Insider Advantage poll, conducted between May 17-19 among 1,000 likely voters, gives Trump a net approval rating of +11 points, 55 percent approving and 44 percent disapproving, with a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.

That is up from a net approval rating of +2 points in early May, when 46 percent approved and 44 percent disapproved.

The latest Morning Consult poll also shows a surge in Trump's approval rating, 48 percent approving and 50 percent disapproving, giving the president a net approval rating of -2 points, up from -7 in early May when 45 percent approved and 52 percent disapproved. That is his highest approval rating since mid-March. The latest poll had a margin of error of +/- 2 percentage points.

The latest J.L. Partners/Daily Mail poll, between May 13 and 14 among 1,003 registered voters, puts Trump's approval rating at 50 percent, up 5 points from 45 percent in April, with a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points.

And the latest Reuters/Ipsos survey, conducted on May 12 and 13, has 44 percent approving of his job performance, a 2-point increase from the previous poll conducted April 25 to 27.

Newsweek's tracker also shows that Trump's approval rating is ticking back up, currently standing at 48 percent, while 50 percent disapprove. Earlier this month, Trump's approval rating stood at 44 percent, while his disapproval was firmly in the 50s.

Some recent polls are also offering encouraging signs for Trump on the economy, a key issue heading into the 2024 election. A new Reuters/Ipsos survey shows his economic approval rating has climbed to 39 percent, up from 36 percent in the previous poll.

Meanwhile, a separate Napolitan News poll conducted May 12—13 among 1,000 registered voters suggests that public sentiment on personal finances is improving. Thirty-one percent of respondents said their finances are getting better—the highest share in four years and a sharp increase from 25 percent just two weeks earlier. An equal share (31 percent) said their financial situation is worsening, down from 36 percent.

This is the first time since July 2021 that optimism about personal finances has matched or exceeded pessimism.

The shift comes amid signs of easing inflation, with the Labor Department reporting slower annual price increases in April. In a further boost to market sentiment, the U.S. and China this week agreed to a 90-day reciprocal tariff reduction totaling 115 percentage points, immediately lifting investor confidence.
