Donald Trump's Approval Rating Revealed As Americans Share Their Views On His Presidency

Donald Trump has received a new approval rating a little more than a year into his second term as president of the United States.

A recent poll conducted by Fox News asked voters how they currently feel about Trump's presidency and how they view his handling of several major policy areas.

Participants were asked about topics such as immigration, foreign policy, the economy, and the administration's tariff policies.

The poll surveyed 1,004 registered voters and took place between February 28 and March 2. The data was collected shortly before the U.S.–Israel strikes on Iran took place.

According to the results, Trump's disapproval rating has remained relatively high in this particular poll over the past year.

Since March 2025, the same survey has shown disapproval levels ranging between 51 percent and 58 percent.

The newest numbers indicate that 57 percent of voters currently disapprove of the president’s performance.

In addition, nearly two-thirds of respondents said they believe the administration is focusing on the wrong priorities.

When the results were broken down by party affiliation, the differences between political groups became clear.

Among Democratic voters who were surveyed, about 97 percent said they disapproved of Trump's performance in office.

Republican voters, however, showed strong support. Around 87 percent of Republicans in the poll said they approved of his presidency.

The survey also asked participants about Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known as ICE.

Roughly 60 percent of respondents said they disapproved of ICE activities, while 42 percent expressed approval.

Voters were also asked which issues they consider the most important right now.

About half of respondents, or 50 percent, said the cost of living was the most pressing concern. Another 18 percent identified government spending as the key issue.

Ten percent of voters listed jobs as the most important topic. Nine percent pointed to income inequality, while eight percent said tariffs were their top concern.

A smaller portion of respondents, about four percent, said taxes were the main issue that concerned them.

Trump performed slightly better when voters were asked about border security.

In that area, 52 percent said they approved of the administration's handling of the border, while 48 percent said they disapproved.

White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded to the poll results and said: "According to the RealClearPolitics average, President Trump is enjoying a higher approval rating than former Presidents Obama and Bush at this point in their second term, with much more hostile media coverage."

Looking at historical comparisons, Trump's approval rating at this stage of his second term sits between the numbers recorded for two previous presidents.

At roughly the same point during their second terms, former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush had approval ratings of 42.5 percent and 38.7 percent.

Trump’s rating during this period has been reported at around 43.3 percent.

Last month, Trump commented on his polling numbers in a post on Truth Social.

"The highest Poll Numbers I have ever received,"

"Obviously, people like a strong and powerful Country, with the best economy, EVER!"

Another recent survey also asked Americans how they felt about President Trump's decision to launch strikes on Iran.

In that poll, about 27 percent of respondents said they supported the military action.

A larger group, 43 percent, said they disapproved of the use of military force.

Another 29 percent of participants said they were unsure or did not have a clear opinion on the issue.

As with many political issues, the responses showed a clear divide between party groups.

About three-quarters of Democrats said they opposed the attacks, while 55 percent of Republicans said they supported them.
