Donald Trump Achieves Positive Favorability Rating for First Time in Political Career

As he prepares to return to the White House, Trump’s favorability has climbed to 49.4%, marking a significant political milestone.

RealClearPolitics polling shows Donald Trump with a net-positive favorability rating of 49.4%, a first in his nearly decade-long political career.
Trump's favorability has risen by 10 percentage points since January 2024, when it stood at 39.9%.
This marks a notable political comeback following Trump’s victory in the 2024 presidential election, where he secured the popular vote and won all seven battleground states.
Trump's rise in approval comes after surviving two assassination attempts, multiple indictments, and a felony conviction, events he claims galvanized his supporters.
Outgoing President Joe Biden’s favorability has sharply declined, with a reported negative rating of 13.7%, reflecting voter dissatisfaction with his administration.
