Trump's Second-Term Approval Ratings Show Mixed Trends

President Trump begins his second term with improved ratings compared to his first, though recent polls reveal emerging divisions among Americans.

Donald Trump's approval ratings have improved significantly compared to his first term, with some polls showing him above water for the first time as president.
AARP and CBS/YouGov polls highlight a stark partisan divide, with high approval among Republicans but significant disapproval among Democrats and independents.
Trump's approval ratings are strongest among men, white voters, and those without college degrees, while women, Hispanic and Black voters, and college-educated individuals view him more negatively.
Recent polling from The Economist/YouGov indicates a slight dip in approval, with disapproval ratings surpassing approval for the first time since his second inauguration.
Trump's early actions, including signing a record number of executive orders and engaging in high-profile public appearances, have contributed to both his improved ratings and continued polarization.
