Overview
- The survey, conducted Aug. 21–Sept. 1 among 867 registered voters with a 3.3-point margin of error, is the highest approval J.L. Partners has recorded for President Trump, according to co-founder James Johnson.
- The White House highlighted the 55% figure in an official post, casting it as validation of the administration’s America First agenda.
- The poll reported broad backing for deporting undocumented immigrants convicted of crimes, with 80% support including 88% of Republicans, 80% of independents, and 72% of Democrats.
- Issue responses also showed 44% approval for Trump’s handling of the economy, compared with a 37% figure cited for Joe Biden in January in prior coverage.
- Other recent polls and averages reported by outlets such as AP, Gallup, Reuters/Ipsos, and RealClearPolitics have generally placed Trump’s approval from around 40% to the mid-40s, underscoring the need for additional data to gauge whether 55% reflects a trend.
