Trump approval rating FAQ
What is Trump's approval rating today?
This page shows the latest available Trump approval rating polls in our dataset, not a same-day official number. The newest field end date currently shown is May 11, 2026, and each number is labeled with its pollster, sponsor, population, sample size, and source link.
Is there an official government approval rating for Trump?
There is no official government approval rating. Presidential approval numbers come from independent pollsters and polling aggregators, so every number should be read with its source, field dates, sample population, and methodology.
Why do Trump approval polls show different numbers?
Polls differ because they survey different populations, use different field dates, sample sizes, question wording, weighting methods, and sponsors. Adults, registered voters, and likely voters should not be treated as the same group.
Does this page calculate its own Trump approval average?
No. This version focuses on source-labeled recent polls and cross-check links. A proprietary average would need a documented weighting model, pollster quality rules, recency decay, and population rules before it would be defensible.
What does net approval mean?
Net approval is approve minus disapprove. For example, a poll with 41% approve and 57% disapprove has a net approval of -16 points.
