A recent Emerson College poll reveals that President Trump's approval rating has reached its highest point since his first term, with a 49% approval rating compared to a record low 41% disapproval rating.
President Donald Trump addressed the nation from the James Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House on January 30, 2025. Recent polling data reveals a significant shift in public perception towards President Trump. A new Emerson College poll indicates that Trump enjoys a 49% approval rating , the highest since his first term in 2016-2020, compared to a 41% dis approval rating , marking a record low for his presidency. Notably, 10% of respondents remain neutral.
The poll, conducted among 1,000 registered voters from January 27-28, reveals a positive trend for the current president, with all age groups exhibiting a net approval except for those over 70 who narrowly disapprove.This positive shift in public opinion coincides with a change in national sentiment. A majority of voters, 52%, believe the U.S. is headed in the right direction, a significant contrast to earlier this month when 67% felt the country was on the wrong track. This change is attributed to a notable shift in Republican perception, with a decrease in independents who share the view that the country is headed in the wrong direction. Republicans have witnessed a dramatic increase in those who feel the country is on the right track, from 70% to 87%. The top concerns for voters remain focused on the economy (35%), immigration (16%), threats to democracy (15%), healthcare (9%), and housing affordability (6%). The findings of the Emerson College poll provide a glimpse into the evolving political landscape and the factors influencing voters' perceptions of the current administration.
