Trump Achieves Record Approval Rating as Poll Shows Widespread Support for His Policies.
Despite a chaotic start that included mass firings of government employees, skyrocketing egg prices, a volatile stock market trend, and the escalating tariff wars being waged on nations worldwide, Donald Trump’s presidential approval ratings remained stable during his first month in office.
In an attempt to address trade imbalances and boost domestic industry, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum on Wednesday. Canada and Europe swiftly responded with billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs.
Trump acknowledged in a recent speech to Congress that his presidency was getting off to a “swift and unrelenting” start. He talked about and defended many of his administration’s contentious policies, including his ongoing crackdown on immigration and border control, his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, his severe government cuts and mass layoffs, and his elimination of wokeness and diversity initiatives in the workforce and schools.
Since taking office in this second term, Trump’s job approval rating has averaged 46%, according to the most recent Gallup poll. His overall approval rating for his first term was 41%. His approval ratings thus far have ranged from 34% to 49% at any given point in both terms.
He received a favorable approval rating from 44% of respondents to a Reuters/Ipsos poll regarding his first month in office. According to reports, public opinion of his current position has so far remained higher than that of both his first term and former President Joe Biden.
According to the Reuters poll, 47% of respondents approved of his immigration policy, while 42% disagreed.
According to the ABC News project538 poll, as of Friday morning, 47.7% of Americans were in favor of Trump’s performance as president, while 54.4% were against Congress. It reveals that Vice President JD Vance received a slightly higher disapproval rating of 42.8% than those who thought favorably of him (40.8%).
The recent tariffs and the stock market’s erratic losses were sure to affect Trump’s approval ratings. These are the latest polls showing how Americans feel about Trump.
How popular is Trump as president in the midst of tariff wars?
According to a Wednesday SSRS/CNN poll, 54% of respondents are against his presidency, while 45% are in favor of it. On more specialized subjects, there was a noticeable difference in approval: 51% of respondents supported his handling of immigration, 48% supported his handling of the federal budget, and 45% supported his handling of the economy.
Trump’s handling of tariffs received 39% approval compared to 61% disapproval, indicating his struggles in the poll.
Following Trump’s 50-day tenure in office, an Emerson College Polling survey revealed that 47% of voters were satisfied with his job performance and 45% were not. Compared to the 49% approval and 41% disapproval rating at the start of his second term, this was a decline.

Jesse Ventura calls Trump ‘a draft-dodging coward’ and hints at another run for Minnesota governor
Jesse Ventura has called President Donald Trump “a draft-dodging coward” and hinted he may again run for Minnesota governor amid a surge of immigration enforcement raids in Minneapolis.
Ventura served as governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003 before deciding not to run for reelection. He’s a Vietnam veteran and former Navy SEAL. If not for his public service, some may know him for his wrestling career as Jesse “The Body” Ventura in the WWE.
During a visit to his alma mater, Roosevelt High School, Ventura had some choice words for Trump on Thursday, who was medically exempt from the Vietnam War draft with a diagnosis of bone spurs.
“He’s the draft-dodging coward who, when it was his time to serve his country, he did what all rich white boys did. I wasn’t a rich white boy...We had to go...He’s gonna tell me what courage is?” Ventura told local outlet Fox 9.
Trump’s Homeland Security Department has targeted Minneapolis in what it has called the largest immigration enforcement operation it has ever carried out.
On Wednesday, 37-year-old U.S. citizen Renee Nicole Good was fatally shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, which the Trump administration is framing as an act of self-defense. That same day, a federal agent was reportedly filmed deploying a chemical irritant on a crowd at Roosevelt High School.
The Department of Homeland Security told Fox 9 that Border Patrol agents were chasing down a U.S. citizen, who the agency said “was actively trying to impede operations,” when he drove into a school zone. A crowd at the school formed when someone, who identified himself as a teacher, assaulted an agent as the citizen was being removed from his car, according to DHS.
“Despite repeated warnings to cease, the crowd continued with their hostilities and assaults. Officers used targeted crowd control for the safety of law enforcement and the public. No tear gas was deployed,” the agency said.
Ventura paid a visit to the high school Thursday to show his support.
“As a graduate of Roosevelt High School and as the former governor of Minnesota, I’m so proud of Roosevelt High School and how they stood up for what is supposed to be America and freedom. And freedom is not arresting people without warrants,” Ventura told Fox 9. “We have a system here — it’s called a Constitution, and we have a party, the Republicans, who don’t seem to want to abide by the Constitution.”
Ventura then hinted that he may run for governor again. The next gubernatorial election for the state is in November, and Governor Tim Waltz has announced he will not seek re-election.
“You know what? Maybe it’s time for Jesse. I only did one term. I’m owed a second,” Ventura said.

Ventura won the governorship in 1998 on the ticket of the Reform Party, a centrist political party. The former governor endorsed Walz for reelection in 2022, but he has been critical of both the Republican and Democratic parties.
Speaking on the fatal shooting of Good, Ventura said, “Anytime you have the loss of life that needlessly happens, that’s a tragedy. And what occurred yesterday did not have to happen.”
