Elections analytics firm 538 has published its approval rating tracker for President Donald Trump. Trump starts his second term with a slightly stronger approval rating than his first term but below that of all other modern US presidents – a sign of the deeply polarised US electorate.
- Trump’s approval rating will be a key indicator that could influence administration policy as he seeks to enact his agenda. In the coming weeks, the approval tracker will provide a useful gauge of voter sentiment for first weeks of Trump's presidency, particularly in light of the North American tariff standoff, efforts to restructure the federal government, and hardline rhetoric towards allies.
