President Trump’s approval rating starts out at 49 percent in the first Emerson College Polling survey of his administration.

The poll, released Thursday, showed Trump’s approval rating is just about in line with the level of support he received in the 2024 presidential election. His disapproval rating of 41 percent is the lowest that Emerson has recorded in its national polls since the start of Trump’s first term, while 10 percent are neutral on Trump.

Spencer Kimball, the executive director of Emerson College Polling, noted in a release that Trump is above water in all age groups except for those 70 and older, which shows him with a disapproval rating of 49 percent and an approval rating of 48 percent.
