Recent polling indicates that President Donald Trump is more popular than ever. And his rising approval numbers may keep going up. According to the first Emerson College Polling national survey of his new administration, Trump holds a 49% job approval rating, with only 41% disapproving. Additionally, 10% of respondents remain neutral.
“President Trump’s 49% job approval rating closely reflects his share of national support in the 2024 election, and his 41% disapproval is the lowest it has been in Emerson national polls dating back to his first term,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
Approval ratings are positive across most age groups, including voters under 30 (46%-38%), except those over 70, who narrowly disapprove (49%-48%).

Public Perception Shifts
The polling also reveals a shift in how Americans view the country’s trajectory. A majority of voters (52%) believe the United States is headed in the right direction, compared to 48% who think it is on the wrong track.
