Trump's Approval Ratings Show Mixed Trends as Economic Optimism Rises

Polling reveals a rebound in economic sentiment, but views on Trump's trade policies and governance remain deeply divided.

Overview

  • President Trump's approval ratings vary widely across polls, with InsiderAdvantage reporting a surge to 55% while Reuters/Ipsos shows a dip to 42%, matching his term low.
  • Economic confidence has improved, with 51% of voters rating the economy as strong—the first majority since 2021—amid easing inflation and a U.S.-China tariff truce.
  • Despite economic optimism, 57% of voters believe Trump's tariffs harm the economy, citing them as the biggest policy failure of his second term.
  • Trump's handling of immigration and national values receives higher approval, but his economic policies, including tariffs and inflation management, remain significant weak points.
  • The 90-day tariff truce with China and a new UK trade framework have influenced public sentiment, though concerns persist over potential long-term economic impacts.
