  Donald Trump began his second term with another historically low job approval rate, only improving on the lowest rate, which he claimed in his first term, by three points. President Trump began his first term at a 45% job approval and began his second term with 47%. According to Gallup, "Trump remains the only elected president with sub-50% initial approval ratings". In a CBS News / YouGov poll conducted from February 5–7, 2025, Trump reached a career high poll rating of 53%. According to ABC News, Trump's approval rating at the end of his first 100 days in office was 39%, worse than any president's approval after his first 100 days since at least 1945. A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that Trump's approval increased from 42% to 44% between April and May.
