Recent polls indicate that President Trump’s popularity is still facing challenges, though Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ) noted a slight improvement in his ratings this week. The average presidential approval rating from last week showed a minor gain.
As per DDHQ’s favorability tracker, Trump has been sitting at a 51.7% unfavorable rating against a 44.4% favorable one since he took office, which is a 2.9 percentage point improvement compared to the average as of April 30.
In terms of approval ratings, DDHQ’s tracker displayed a similar trend, showing an average disapproval rate of 51.2%, yielding a net negative of 6.7% compared to a 44.5% approval rating. This marks a 2.7% increase since last Wednesday.
Despite expressing concerns about polling results as he celebrated his 100th day back in office, Trump might find some solace in DDHQ’s figures, which indicate a “potential flexion point” in his ratings, according to their team.
While Trump’s overall net approval has remained steady across various demographics, there has been a noticeable uptick among women, with ratings improving by 2.2 percentage points from -22 to -19.8 since last week.
