President Donald Trump has been given a fresh approval rating a little over a year into his second term.
A new Fox News poll asked voters for their views on Trump’s presidency so far, including his approach to immigration, foreign policy, the economy, and his tariff strategy.
The survey shows his disapproval rating has sat between 51 and 58 percent since March 2025. In the latest results, 57 percent said they disapprove, and close to two-thirds said he is prioritizing the wrong issues.
Breaking those numbers down by party, nearly all Democrats surveyed said they disapproved (97 percent). Among Republicans, 87 percent said they approve.
On Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), about 60 percent said they disapprove of the agency’s actions, while 42 percent said they approve.
When asked what matters most right now, half of respondents (50 percent) pointed to the cost of living. Government spending came next at 18 percent, followed by jobs (10 percent), income equality (nine percent), and tariffs (eight percent).
A further four percent said taxes were the biggest concern.
Trump’s numbers were stronger on border security, where 52 percent approved and 48 percent disapproved.
White House spokesperson Davis Ingle responded to the findings, saying: “According to the RealClearPolitics average, President Trump is enjoying a higher approval rating than former Presidents Obama and Bush at this point in their second term, with much more hostile media coverage.”
By comparison, at roughly the same stage of their second terms, Barack Obama and George W. Bush recorded approval ratings of 42.5 percent and 38.7 percent, respectively, versus Trump’s 43.3 percent.
“The highest Poll Numbers I have ever received,” Trump said on Truth Social last month.
“Obviously, people like a strong and powerful Country, with the best economy, EVER!”
The poll surveyed 1,004 registered voters and was carried out from February 28 through March 2, shortly before the US-Israel strikes on Iran took place.
In a separate recent poll about the Iran strikes, 27 percent said they supported Trump’s decision, while 43 percent disapproved of his use of military force. Another 29 percent said they were unsure.
Responses largely followed party affiliation, with around three-quarters of Democrats disapproving of the attacks, while 55 percent of Republicans said they approved.
