Trump’s Margin Of Approval Jumps 10 Points In Four Days, Poll Says

/in , , , , , , , /by

President Donald Trump’s job approval rating among Americans has risen by several points since Monday, according to polling from Rasmussen Reports.

Of likely U.S. voters surveyed, 53% said they approved of Trump’s job performance as president, according to the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday. Meanwhile, 46% of likely voters said they disapproved of the president’s performance, the poll found.

The Friday poll results mark a significant improvement from Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday, when Trump’s total job approval was at 48% and his disapproval at 51% — meaning the president’s approval rating went from three points underwater to seven points in the positive, a difference of ten points, in the span of the week.

The poll also found that 34% of voters “strongly approve” of the job Trump is doing as president. Still, 37% of respondents said that they “strongly disapprove” of Trump’s job performance, according to the survey.

However, other recent polling has painted a starkly different picture of how Americans view Trump’s leadership. An Economist/YouGov poll released Tuesday found that just 39% of voters strongly or somewhat approve of Trump’s job performance as president, while 57% disapprove.

The 39% of respondents who said they approved of Trump is the lowest share to do so in any weekly Economist/YouGov Poll thus far in his second term, according to the survey.

Trump has been moving rapidly to implement several parts of his agenda this year, such as prioritizing border security and illegal immigration enforcement. The president has also been moving to crack down on criminal activity in Washington, D.C.

Additionally, Trump unveiled an executive order in late August aiming to make “federal architecture beautiful again.”

The Rasmussen Reports poll’s margin of sampling error for the full sample of 1,500 likely voters is plus or minus 2.5 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Rasmussen Reports’ presidential tracking poll results are collected by telephone surveys of 300 likely voters on a nightly basis.

The Economist/YouGov Poll was conducted among 1,567 U.S. adult citizens. Respondents were selected from YouGov’s opt-in panel to be representative of U.S. adult citizens. A random sample (stratified by gender, age, race, education, geographic region, and voter registration) was selected from the 2019 American Community Survey. The margin of error for the overall sample is approximately 3.5%.
