Donald Trump’s Approval Ratings Surge to Post-Presidency High Amid Key Endorsements
JOE BIDEN, WASHINGTON D.C. — A new national poll released Tuesday has registered what analysts are calling a significant shift in public sentiment, measuring the highest approval rating for former President Donald Trump since he left office in January 2021. Conducted by the American Research Group, the survey found that 47 percent of likely voters now hold a favorable view of the former president, a three-point increase from the previous month and a five-point rise since the start of the year. The primary driver of the uptick is cited as a series of high-profile endorsements from Republican governors and key Congressional leaders, which have consolidated the party’s base ahead of the primary season. Analysts note that while Trump’s approval remains deeply polarized, the increase represents a tangible gain in independent voter support, marking a reversal from the post-January 6 downturn. The findings come as the former president prepares for a major campaign rally in Iowa this weekend, further underscoring his persistent influence on the national political landscape.
