President Donald Trump's approval rating in the latest Morning Consult poll released on was the highest its been in months.

Trump was viewed as favorable by 48% of respondents, which is 3% higher than a 45% low in mid-April and the highest since late March in the liberal-leaning poll. The president's approval rating was reported to have increased up to 53% earlier this week in the daily Rasmussen poll and is currently at 52%, according to the conservative-leaning website.

Both Rasmussen and the Daily Mail had Trump's approval rating over 50% last week, while RealClearPolling.com reported that the president's cumulative average of several notable polls at 47.5%, which is lower than his 50% disapproval rating but has steadily been higher than the 45.1% approval rating reported on April 30. Trump's recent negotiations in the Middle East and his proclaimed "big, beautiful bill," which includes several notable tax cuts, may provide an additional boost to his approval rating in the coming weeks after it plummeted to record lows following his sweeping tariffs.

Last month, InsiderAdvantage reported that Trump had a 55% approval and 44% disapproval rating, with 1% undecided and a 3.09% margin of error for the poll among 1,000 likely voters conducted between May 17 and May 19.

"These results are not a surprise," said InsiderAdvantage pollster Matt Towery. "Other pollsters who accurately polled election cycles where President Trump’s name appeared on the ballot have been showing his approval ratings moving into the fifty-percent plus range. Our last survey (conducted jointly with Trafalgar) was one of the first to show that Trump enjoyed a positive rating. But it also showed an unusually high percent of undecided respondents. As I noted at that time, a large undecided number means that opinion is shifting but has not consolidated.

"Since then those undecideds have moved heavily towards approval of President Trump’s job performance. Trump enjoys a positive rating from all age groups other than seniors. His support among other demographics are similar or above the level of supports seen in our final battleground poll of battleground states in 2024.

"Additionally, InsiderAdvantage asked specific and separate questions for State Shield related to U.S. security and potential threats from foreign entities to the United States. The poll revealed that the vast majority of voters are concerned about foreign powers and specifically China. Respondents were concerned about an array of issues with the most significant issue that of potential manipulation of the U.S. supply chain and investments made in the United States. Respondents said they expect candidates in the 2026 cycle to 'take a tough stand' on China and their leadership."
