Presidential approval rating

President Trump’s approval rating overall has remained relatively stable in recent weeks. But under the surface, the president appears to be losing some ground with key constituencies, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center. Among younger Republicans — particularly those under 35 — Trump’s ratings have fallen dramatically. Still, his approval among older Republicans, who are the backbone of his support, remains steady and strong.
Compare with past presidents
These charts show how President Trump’s net approval rating compares with the net approval of past presidents. Net approval is the percentage of survey respondents who approve of the president minus the percentage who disapprove.
Both of Trump’s presidential terms began with historically low approval ratings. While his second term has been somewhat better reviewed by voters than his first, Trump started his current term with a net approval rating lower than any other presidents’ going back to Bill Clinton. Several other recent presidents have seen their approval ratings go negative in the first six months of one of their terms, meaning that more people disapproved than approved of their performance: George W. Bush (in his second term), Bill Clinton (in his first term) and Barack Obama (in his second term).
