Trump Approval Ratings Remain Strong Amid Disapproval Increase

As Donald Trump's second term progresses, his approval ratings remain generally positive, although they have seen a slight decrease from earlier in the month. Polling averages indicate Trump has around 48.7% approval and 46.2% disapproval, reflecting a decline from his initial approval of nearly 50% at the start of his term. Despite reports of voter regret among some Trump supporters, several polls show his approval ratings currently surpassing those from his first term, with a CBS News poll noting a peak of 53% approval. Additionally, Trump's approval among Republicans is significantly higher than that of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, highlighting a shift in party dynamics. Trump's executive actions have drawn both praise and criticism, with a notable increase in positive perceptions of the country's direction since he took office. Overall, while there are challenges, Trump’s approval remains robust in the early days of his administration.
