Donald Trump latest approval ratings: What Americans think about the job president is doing

A little more than two weeks into his second term, President Donald Trump’s approval rating stands at just under 50%, according to an average of national polls.

FiveThirtyEight.com’s polling average shows Trump’s approval rating at 49% compared to a disapproval rating of 44%. The figures reflect averages from 95% of the polls tracked by FiveThirtyEIght.com.

Of the major polls since Jan. 20, the majority show approval ratings for Trump ranging from a 10-point advantage in the Napolitan Institute’s RMG Research Poll (53% to 43%) to 2 percentage points in the Morning Consult Survey (49% to 47%). Two polls – Gallup and Ipsos/Reuters – show a 1 percentage point negative rating, 48% to 47% and 46% to 45%, respectively.

Higher than first term

Most polling numbers show Trump is faring better during his second term than at the same point in his first.

ActiVote’s Feb. 1 poll shows Trump’s approval rating at 52%, much higher than his average over the 48 months of his first presidency, which averaged about 41%.

Currently, Trump enjoys the highest approval ratings among rural (64%) and suburban (51%) voters, as well as those ages 50-64 (56%), men (60%)  and middle and high income voters (54% and 53%, respectively.) The president has net negative approval ratings among urbanites, people ages 18-29, women, low income voters and those with only a high school diploma.
