Trump currently has a 41.4% approval rating and a 56.6% disapproval rating in national polls conducted between March 20 and April 12. The polls include CBS News (39% approval rating); Rasmussen Reports (44% approval); Daily Mail (43% approval rating; Economist/YouGov (41% approval); Morning Consult (45% approval); RMG Research* (45% approval); I&I/TIPP (39% approval); CNN (38% approval); Harvard-Harris (43% approval); Quantus Insights (42% approval); Big Data Poll (42% approval); Reuters/Ipsos (36% approval); and FOX News (41% approval).

Trump's average approval rating increased from last week when he was reported to have a -15.9% net approval rating, a 40.9% approval rating and a 56.8% disapproval rating. A CNN/SSRS poll previously reported that Trump was facing his lowest approval rating on the economy for both of his two non-consecutive terms in office.

Trump was reported to have a 31% approval rating among Americans for his handling of the economy, which is 8% less than the 39% he had in January. The president has also reportedly seen a decline of 23% among Republicans, specifically under the age of 45, in his handling of the economy since January, with 28% of respondents from the party saying his policies have worsened economic conditions, an increase of 13%.

Trump's overall approval rating was 35% with a 64% disapproval rating and 1% of respondents saying they have "no opinion" in the CNN/SSRS poll. Trump's approval rating among younger voters also reportedly hit rock bottom, according to a survey from the political data and analysis firm Quantus Insights released last month.

Trump has an overall approval rating of 42.2% and a disapproval rating of 56.6%, which includes 70.5% of voters between the ages of 18 to 29 saying they "strongly" disapproved of how he "is handling the job," with an additional 6% disapproving somewhat. An estimated 20.1% of respondents from the same demographic say they "strongly" approve the president's job performance and 3.5% say they somewhat approve.

Trump, who gained more support among young voters in his 2024 campaign than in his 2016 and 2020 campaigns, was reported to have dropped 42 points among Gen Z voters and have a -32% net approval among voters born between 1997 and 2012, after previously polling at a +10% net approval rating among the group in February 2025, CNN Chief Data Analyst Harry Enten reported in January.

“My goodness gracious. This is, I said, a very swinging group and it has swung very much away from Donald John Trump,” Enten said during a live CNN newscast via the Independent.

Trump was reported to have 42% of the vote among Americans born between the 1990s and the 2000s during the 2024 election, according to the Pew Research Center which was still 13% lower than former Vice President Kamala Harris, but significantly better than his previous two campaigns. The president was reported to have only had 35% among younger voters in the 2020 election and 25% in the 2016 election.

Trump had previously revealed that his teenage son, Barron, was influential in him doing interviews on podcasts targeting a younger male demographic, which included appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience, This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Flagrant with comedian Andrew Schulz, Logan Paul's Impaulsive and Barstool Sports' Bussin' with the Boys. The president is reported to currently have a -13.2% net approval rating average, according to RealClearPolling.com.
