President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have seen a slight uptick in recent polls following a series of surveys coinciding with his first 100 days in office. According to the New York Times’ poll aggregation, Trump’s average approval rating stands at 45% with a 51% disapproval rating, marking a one-point increase from the previous week. Pollster Nate Silver’s “Silver Bulletin” newsletter and RealClearPolitics show similar approval and disapproval numbers, reflecting a consistent trend.

While Trump began his term with a 47% approval rating, his popularity dipped significantly leading up to his 100th day in office, reaching historic lows compared to past presidents. The recent uptick in approval has sparked discussions about whether this trend will continue or if it is merely a temporary fluctuation due to limited polling data. The latest polls, such as the Reuters/Ipsos poll and The Economist/YouGov poll, provide insights into how Americans perceive Trump’s performance across various policy areas.

The Reuters/Ipsos survey indicates a rise in approval to 44%, with decreasing concerns about a recession among respondents. The Economist/YouGov poll shows a 43% approval rating, with varying levels of approval for Trump’s handling of different policy issues. Additionally, the Morning Consult poll reports unchanged approval ratings from the previous week, highlighting strong support from Republican voters but continued disapproval from independents.

As analysts await more data to confirm the longevity of this uptick, the evolving sentiments reflected in these polls offer valuable perspectives on public opinion regarding Trump’s presidency.
