Trump ties for highest approval he’s ever had – as more Americans say U.S. is on right track than any time in 20 years – poll | 16 March 2025 | Three months into his second term, President Trump hit the highest approval rating he’s ever had as commander-in-chief — while more Americans say the country is on the right track than at any point since 2004, a new poll found. That’s the good news, according to an NBC News Poll released Sunday. The bad news is that Trump still has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% said they disapprove of his handling of the economy — the first time he’s lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s poll. Even so, the survey found that voters generally feel Trump is bringing “the right kind of change” on the key issues — even tariffs.
