For weeks, President Donald Trump’s approval ratings hovered at the break-even point. Now, following a string of high-profile wins, the tide appears to be turning — fast.
On Monday, Trump’s total approval hit 52%, his highest mark in months, according to the latest Rasmussen polling of 1,500 likely voters. That same survey recorded a 46% disapproval rate, giving Trump a +6 net positive — a substantial rebound from late April when he was underwater by as much as 5 points.
The shift follows a stretch of politically charged developments that played directly into Trump’s core messaging: a hardline stance on immigration enforcement, pushback against deep state overreach, and bold international moves that drew praise from the Republican base.
The numbers tell the story. Just two weeks ago, on April 28, Trump was sitting at 47% total approval and a -10 approval index. Since then, he’s not only clawed his way back to even — he’s surged ahead. The “strongly approve” category, a key measure of base intensity, jumped from 32% to 38% over the same stretch.
