InsiderAdvantage Puts Trump at 50% as Gallup Shows 36%, Underscoring Polling Split

Conflicting snapshots from recent polls highlight how methodology and timing shape his approval numbers.

Overview

  • An InsiderAdvantage survey of 800 likely voters on Dec. 19–20 found 50% approval and 41% disapproval for President Trump, a net +9 and his highest reading with the firm in roughly three months.
  • Gallup’s poll of more than 1,000 adults conducted Dec. 1–15 reported 36% approval, placing Trump 23 points underwater overall and a steep 43 points negative with independents.
  • InsiderAdvantage cites gains among independents, younger voters and women, along with an unusually large undecided share, and ties the rebound to Trump’s Dec. 17 address and recent inflation data.
  • Most other trackers still show Trump below majority approval, with RealClearPolitics’ national average in the mid‑40s and disapproval higher.
  • Gallup also reports Trump’s approval exceeds that of Democrats in Congress by 12 points, with congressional Democrats at 24% and Republicans in Congress at 29%.
