Overview

  • Recent polls place Trump’s approval in the mid-40s, with the New York Times average at 45% and Decision Desk HQ/The Hill around 47%.
  • Approval has recovered roughly three points from its late-April low in the DDHQ/The Hill aggregate.
  • Analysts point to the suspension of planned tariffs as a key factor stabilizing public sentiment.
  • His favorability rating and the share of Americans who say the country is on the right track have also ticked upward.
  • Courts have blocked multiple Trump executive orders on trade and immigration, contributing to earlier rating fluctuations.
