Trump approval rating
Ratings have remained largely stable in recent months, despite a decline since the start of his second term. Polling data from mid-September 2025 shows Donald Trump’s approval ratings ranging from 41% to 46% among major poll trackers, with an average net disapproval rating of 7 to 8 percentage points
Recent poll findings
Recent surveys conducted in early to mid-September 2025 reported the following approval percentages:
Reuters/Ipsos: 42% approval (Sept. 5–9)
The Economist/YouGov: 41% approval (Sept. 5–8)
Morning Consult: 45% approval (Sept. 6–8)
NBC News/Decision Desk: 43% approval (Sept. 7)
Decision Desk HQ Average: 46% approval (Sept. 6–9)
Key trends and analysis
Stable but negative: Aggregators show Trump’s net approval rating holding relatively steady around -7 or -8 percentage points in recent weeks, following a more significant decline earlier in the year.
Issues-based approval: Polls reveal mixed results on specific policy areas.Higher ratings are typically seen for handling border security and public safety.
Lower ratings are generally found for handling the economy, inflation, and healthcare.State-level differences: Approval ratings vary significantly across the U.S. In a September Morning Consult poll, Trump’s highest approval was in Wyoming (62%), while his lowest was in Vermont (31%).
Historical comparison: In a historical context, Trump’s approval ratings at this point in his second term are lower than the average for modern presidents during their first year in office.— Michael Novakhov (@mikenov) Sep 15, 2025
