What do you need to know?

  • Donald Trump achieved the highest approval rating of his career, standing at 47%, despite 51% of respondents holding the opposite opinion.
  • 44% of those surveyed believe the country is headed in the right direction, but 54% disagree.
  • Support for the Democrats has fallen to 27%, the lowest level since 1990.

The NBC News survey indicates that 44% of the respondents (the highest percentage in NBC News surveys during Donald Trump's political career) believe the country is heading in the right direction, while 54% have the opposite view.

Despite the increase in overall support for Trump, his economic policy is not recognized. Only 18% of respondents rate it positively, while 55% express disapproval. Similarly, 55% are dissatisfied with his approach to inflation and living costs, while 42% support his actions.

The survey revealed deep partisan divisions

The NBC News survey highlights deep partisan divisions. Over the last 80 years, there hasn’t been such a wide gap between the president's approval by his own party members and the opposition. Ninety percent of Republican Party members support Trump, while only four percent of Democrats have a positive opinion of him. Among independent voters, 30 percent approve of his presidency, while 67 percent do not.

Differences in support are also visible depending on gender: 55% of men support Trump, whereas among women, it’s only 40%.

The Democratic Party has experienced its lowest popularity in NBC News surveys since 1990. Only 27% of those surveyed have positive opinions about the party. This is a significant drop that could impact future elections and the party's strategy.
