Trump’s Popularity Surge: A New Political Landscape
In a remarkable shift that has left Washington insiders and media talking heads stunned, President Donald Trump has achieved one of the highest approval ratings of his political career. According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, a whopping 53% of U.S. adults now approve of Trump’s overall job performance. This surge in popularity marks a dramatic turnaround from the tumultuous end of his previous term, when his approval rating bottomed out at a mere 33%.
The political landscape has shifted dramatically, with Trump’s administration seemingly hitting its stride. The President is now described by respondents as “effective,” “focused,” “tough,” “competent,” and “energetic.” However, it’s worth noting that only 37% view him as “compassionate” – a fact that his critics are quick to seize upon.
Just three weeks into his second term, 53% of Americans approve of the job President Trump is doing — a higher approval rating than he ever received during his first term, a new @CBSNewsPoll finds.

Promises Made, Promises Kept
One of the most striking findings from the poll is that a staggering 70% of respondents believe Trump is fulfilling his 2024 campaign promises. This perception of reliability and follow-through appears to be a key factor in his rising approval ratings. Trump’s base, in particular, seems energized by what they see as a President who’s not just talking the talk, but walking the walk.
However, it’s not all smooth sailing for the Trump administration. The poll reveals mixed results on key issues, particularly in the economic realm. While 56% support new tariffs on China, majorities oppose similar measures against Canada, Mexico, and Europe. Moreover, 51% of respondents believe Trump’s policies will lead to increased grocery prices, and a whopping 73% think the tariffs will make goods more expensive overall.
Immigration and Foreign Policy: Trump’s Strong Suits
If there’s one area where Trump seems to be hitting a home run with voters, it’s immigration. A solid 59% of respondents approve of his immigration policies, including controversial measures such as deportations and sending troops to the southern border. This hardline stance on immigration appears to be resonating with a significant portion of the electorate, despite fierce opposition from his critics.
In the realm of foreign policy, Trump is also seeing some positive numbers. 54% of respondents approve of his handling of the Israel-Hamas conflict, suggesting that his approach to Middle East politics is finding favor with a majority of Americans. However, his administration faces significant challenges on other fronts, including legal battles over key priorities such as ending birthright citizenship and eliminating protections for trans people.
The Road Ahead: Challenges and Opportunities
As Trump’s approval ratings soar, his administration faces both opportunities and challenges. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a key initiative aimed at reducing federal spending, has received mixed reviews. While many support the focus on cutting government costs and ending diversity programs, others are skeptical about the involvement of tech mogul Elon Musk in these efforts.
Despite the overall positive numbers, there are still areas of concern for the Trump administration. Two-thirds of respondents feel that not enough is being done to lower household goods prices, a potential weak spot that could be exploited by his political opponents. Additionally, 58% oppose Trump’s pardons related to the January 6 Capitol riot, indicating that this remains a divisive issue.
As we move further into Trump’s term, it remains to be seen whether these high approval ratings will translate into lasting political capital. With numerous challenges both domestic and international, the political landscape is sure to remain dynamic. One thing is certain: Trump’s ability to confound expectations and rally his base continues to reshape American politics in ways few could have predicted.
