President Donald Trump’s approval rating has surged to new heights, with fresh polling data indicating a majority of Americans believe the country is now on the right track. This boost in public confidence follows a string of recent policy victories and legislative momentum from the Trump administration.
A new poll released Tuesday, primarily based on data from Rasmussen Reports and reported by Fox News, shows that 50% of likely voters approve of President Trump’s job performance. This marks a significant milestone in his second term, signaling a renewed sense of national optimism.
Further strengthening this trend, a poll conducted by InsiderAdvantage between May 17 and May 19 found that 55% of likely voters approve of Trump’s performance, compared to 44% who disapprove, with just 1% undecided. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 likely voters, has a margin of error of ±3.09%.
Several recent accomplishments appear to be bolstering Trump’s numbers. Among them, a landmark trade agreement with the United Kingdom aims to establish fairer terms for American exporters. Additionally, the President has signed an executive order to expand the nation’s nuclear energy sector, marking a major step in his energy strategy.
Security has also remained a central theme of Trump’s agenda, with the deployment of additional troops to fortify the southern border with Mexico. Meanwhile, the President’s signature legislative proposal — dubbed the “Big, Beautiful Bill” — has successfully passed the House of Representatives. The bill promises sweeping tax cuts and increased government spending, aligning with Trump’s economic agenda.
The latest approval ratings underscore the complex and evolving landscape of American political sentiment. While Trump’s presidency has been marked by sharp polarization, these numbers suggest that a growing segment of voters is responding positively to his recent moves on trade, energy, and national security.
