President Donald Trump has taken a bold stance, declaring that his approval rating is at a record high. However, recent national polls reveal that his approval ratings are not as high as he claims. As he continues to serve as President of the United States, the latest survey data suggests that his approval rating remains in the upper 40s, with his disapproval rating slightly above 50%.
Trump has been leveraging his executive authority to enact significant changes, including controversial actions such as sending National Guard forces and U.S. Marines into Los Angeles to manage protests. These actions were taken in response to the ongoing immigration demonstrations and the administration’s consideration of joining Israel in addressing Iran’s nuclear program. These decisions have kept Trump in the public eye, but they have also led to considerable debate and controversy.
Despite starting his second term with positive poll numbers, Trump’s approval ratings have been fluctuating, and have remained below the 50% mark in most recent national surveys. This pattern of fluctuation has been consistent with Trump’s previous terms. The president has faced challenges in maintaining public support, with his approval ratings fluctuating in response to various political and social issues. The former president, Joe Biden, who served one term in the White House, also experienced a similar pattern of initially positive ratings that eventually declined into negative territory during his tenure.
