Donald Trump has claimed on social media that his approval rating is at or near record highs, but independent polling data does not support those assertions. According to multiple major surveys, his approval ratings are significantly lower than the figures he has publicly cited, with most reputable polls placing him in the upper 30% to low 40% range of approval.
Polling aggregators tracking presidential approval show a consistent gap between approval and disapproval, with recent estimates indicating roughly 37% approval versus nearly 60% disapproval. This places his net approval deeply in negative territory, reflecting ongoing public concern about issues such as the economy, inflation, and foreign policy.
Analysts note that while Trump’s support remains highly stable among his core voter base, broader national sentiment remains divided and generally unfavorable compared to his own claims. Fact-checkers and polling experts emphasize that social media statements about “record-high approval” are not backed by verified survey data from established polling organizations.
