Why It Matters
Trump's position within his party appears increasingly solid, underscoring a widening partisan divide rather than a broad shift in public opinion.
Maintaining Trump's support within the GOP base is essential for the party ahead of the midterm elections in November, when it is aiming to hold on to slim majorities in the both chambers of Congress.

The first poll, conducted between March 6 and 8, showed that Trump's approval rating among Republicans was 83 percent, while 11 percent disapproved. This resulted in a net approval rating of +72 points.
Across all registered voters, 37 percent said they approved of Trump's performance, while 57 percent disapproved, putting his net approval at -20 points.

Late March Uptick
In a second poll, conducted between March 19 and 23, Trump's performance among Republicans improved, with 89 percent approving and just six percent disapproving. This gave Trump a net approval rating of +83 points — the highest level recorded across the three surveys.

The poll included 1,191 self‑identified registered voters nationwide, and had a margin of error of +/- 3.6 percentage points.
April Holds Near Peak
A third poll, conducted between April 9 and 13, found that Republican approval remained elevated, with 88 percent approving of Trump's performance and seven percent disapproving, providing a net approval rating of +81 points.
Trump's overall approval rating showed little change, with 38 percent approving and 55 percent disapproving of his performance, giving a net result of -17 points.
The poll surveyed 1,028 self‑identified registered voters nationwide and had a margin of error of +/- 3.8 percentage points.
White House spokesman Davis Ingle told Newsweek previously: "The ultimate poll was November 5, 2024, when nearly 80 million Americans overwhelmingly elected President Trump to deliver on his popular and commonsense agenda.
"No other president in history has accomplished more for the American people than President Trump, who is working tirelessly to create jobs, cool inflation, increase housing affordability, and more. The president has already made historic progress not only in America but around the world, and this is just the beginning as his agenda continues taking effect."
