Big Update On Trump’s Approval Rating

Washington, D.C. – President Donald J. Trump is enjoying a sharp rebound in public approval, just weeks after critics declared trouble at the 100-day mark of his second term. New polling shows that more Americans are backing Trump’s America First agenda, with optimism rising across the board.

According to the latest Decision Desk HQ/The Hill average, President Trump’s approval rating surged to 47.1% over the weekend—the highest in two months. As of midweek, it slightly adjusted to 46.7%, still a solid 3-point gain from early May’s low point.

Economic Confidence Grows Under Trump’s Steady Leadership

This approval boost comes on the heels of Trump’s bold decision to pause certain tariffs, a move that brought relief to consumers and business owners concerned about rising prices.

“Each month, we brace for inflation from tariffs, but the impact keeps getting pushed back,” said Scott Helfstein, Head of Investment Strategy at Global X.

Despite the media’s hand-wringing, the economy has remained stable and strong. Inflation cooled in April, gas prices dropped, and the stock market showed renewed growth. These signs of resilience are giving Americans more confidence in President Trump’s economic direction.

Americans Reject Woke Judges and Embrace Trump’s Agenda

Alongside economic gains, voters are reacting to ongoing attempts by activist judges to block Trump’s executive actions—on everything from border security to federal workforce reforms. But instead of weakening his support, these judicial roadblocks appear to be energizing his base.

“The same activist courts that tried to stop Trump in 2016 are at it again,” said Republican strategist Mehek Cooke. “But now the public sees through it—and they’re rallying behind him.”

Trade Strategy Proving Effective—And Popular

Polling has long shown that Trump’s trade policies were a sticking point for some voters. But now, his strategic use of tariffs—followed by timely pauses—has started to pay off.

“People expected chaos. Instead, they’re seeing control,” said Scott Tranter, head of data science at Decision Desk HQ. “Approval isn’t falling—it’s rising.”

Trump recently postponed a major tariff on the European Union, allowing more time for deal-making while avoiding disruption. Republicans believe this shows his skill in negotiation—something he’s built a career on.

“He’s always been a dealmaker,” Cooke emphasized. “And now even global powers are being forced to come to the table.”

Trump’s Populist Message Resonates Across Party Lines

Even some union-aligned Democrats are supporting Trump’s stance on trade, putting the opposition party in a tricky spot. The usual rules of politics don’t seem to apply—because Trump’s common-sense, America-first leadership speaks to both workers and retirees worried about the future.

“Democrats are struggling to respond,” said former State Department official Matthew Bartlett. “Trump looks focused and steady—and that’s a major advantage.”

New Political Normal: Trump’s Approval Holding Strong

Experts believe Trump may be settling into a new approval range of 43–47%, a significant improvement over much of his first term, when numbers were often in the high 30s.

“That’s statistically meaningful,” Tranter noted. “And don’t forget—this time, Trump won the popular vote.”

Conclusion: Trump’s Approval Ratings Reflect Real-World Results

Whether it’s lower inflation, strong markets, or a crackdown on judicial overreach, Americans are responding positively to President Trump’s leadership. As the media continues to doubt him, everyday voters are recognizing the truth: Trump delivers.
