Overview

• President Trump's overall approval rating has risen to approximately 45%, up from historic lows in late April, though it remains below 50%.
• A significant rebound is seen among millennials aged 30–44, where his approval jumped from 38% in April to 46% in May, the largest demographic gain recorded.
• The U.S.-China 90-day tariff pause and subsequent stock market recovery have contributed to easing voter economic anxieties, with concerns about a recession declining from 76% to 69%.
• Despite the uptick, Trump’s approval remains underwater on nearly all policy issues except border security, where he holds a net positive rating.
• Experts caution that the recent gains may be within polling margins of error and could reverse without sustained economic improvements or policy successes.
