President Donald Trump has been on the job for three months. Here’s his current approval rating as Americans express how they really feel about his job performance and new poll results that also show whether his voters are experiencing buyers remorse or regret about their Election Day 2024 decision.
Through the three-month start to his second presidency, Trump’s approval rating remains steady, and in some cases his highest rating yet in both terms.
In a CNN poll last week, data analyst Harry Enten asked Trump voters if they’d vote differently in a do-over.
“I’m here to tell you, very few of them regret what they did back in 2024.” His polling results showed that only 2% said they would change their vote while only 1% said they wouldn’t have voted at all.
When Kamala Harris voters were asked the same question, the poll numbers came back very similar.
“So, if there was a repeat, if folks got to be able to redo their vote from back in 2024, would the result be any different? I doubt it would be. I doubt it would be or it would still be extremely close.” Said Enten. Adding, “The bottom line is for all this talk of Trump voters regretting their vote, in the numbers, it really just doesn’t show up.”
Enten said “If there is some idea out there that Trump voters are going, ‘Man, I wish I would have voted for Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump, the numbers say that is a fanciful universe. It really, for the most part, doesn’t exist.”
Here’s what the most current polls show about Trump’s presidential job approval ratings right now.
