President Trump’s popularity is at a record high as the largest share of Americans in decades believe the country is on the right track, according to new polling data.
While the president’s current net-favorable rating is in the negatives — at -4 percentage — he is making steady progress in the right direction. It’s far better than the -10 point rating he had in March 2017 and the -7 point rating Americans gave him after the November election, according to aggregate polling compiled by CNN analyst Harry Enten.
Enten gave the network’s lefty viewers a “reality check” this week with the new poll numbers, showing Trump has a higher favorability rating now than at any point in his first term.
“All we talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is,” Enten began. “But in reality, he’s basically more popular than he was at any point in term number one and more popular than he was when he won the election back in November of 2024.”
“So when you compare Trump against himself, he’s actually closer to the apex than he is to the bottom of the trough,” the CNN analyst explained. “And of course, that’s so important because Donald Trump, historically speaking, has had his numbers underestimated.”
