Harvard/Harris Poll: Trump Approval Rating at 52 Percent


One month in, a majority of those polled have a positive view of the Trump administration.
A Harvard University/Harris poll had President Donald Trump’s approval rating at 52%, with voters most satisfied with his job on immigration, reducing the cost of the government, and returning America to its values.
A majority of those polled support Trump's policies on the border, focus on government expenditures, gender, DEI, and offshore drilling but have concerns on his foreign policy involving tariffs, the Israel-Hamas war, and the war in Ukraine.
The poll found 42% of voters believe the country is on the right track, up 14 points from January. Trump’s favorability is at 50%, with voters having a favorable view of Vice President JD Vance, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, and Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
The Democratic Party received its lowest approval rating since at least March 2018, with 33% of Democrats, 86% Republicans, and 70% independents disapproving. The Republican Party had an approval rating of 49% while 36% of voters approve of Congress.
"People are taking a generally positive wait-and-see attitude for Trump, but have really reassessed their attitudes toward Biden, Harris, and the Democrats, taking a much harsher, more negative attitude," said Mark Penn, co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. "Trump has a real opportunity here – we're seeing a healthy, trudging approval edging toward real approval based on how the next couple of months turn out."
Renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America was the only Trump policy to not receive majority support.
The survey was conducted online within the U.S. from Feb. 19-20 among 2,443 registered voters by the Harris Poll and HarrisX. The margin of error for the total sample is +/- 2.0 points on a 95% confidence level.

I hope this puts an end to the BS we have been seeing lately.
We LOVE him!
“I hope this puts an end to the BS we have been seeing lately”
I hope not. I enjoy reading the ridiculous posts comparing trivial nothings to hitler and how he is destroying the country and the end is near and on and on and on. It’s very humorous, lol.
You have a mouse in your pocket?
No, the only thing I bring are the FACTS.
The price of eggs has doubled since trump took office... Still cheering?
Another lie. Prove it.
He has eliminated more jobs than illegals he's deported. WooHoo.
They can take Biden's recommendation and learn to code.
Let this sink in... Musk makes 8 million a day from the US government and he just signed another 1 BILLION dollar subsidy from the US government but his, "DOGE", department is going after people on medicare making....wait for it, $65.00 a day.
Trump's government is not helping you, they are looking for ways to funnel your tax dollars into billionaires pockets.....and articles like this are doing what they can to justify it? Are you fucking kidding me?
Do you really think these ultra rich people are suddenly moving heaven and earth to help the middle class after 50 years of trickle down economics? [deleted][✘]
When the economy collapses, and it will, who will suffer? It won't be the ultra rich. The price of eggs that the right complained about for the last 3 years has DOUBLED since trump took office, the price of gas is up 22%... And from the right?
"Wow, isn't this great!!!!????"
Nice cherry picked poll....
As of 7:18pm, PT, 2/24/2025, his approval is 49.3.
So what?
He's your president for 47 more months.
Did you notice the last measurement shows an upward trend.
Once the shock and awe subside, his approval ratings will improve bigly.
