Donald Trump ‘s latest approval rating has been revealed after a bumpy 2026 for global stability, and the US’s inclusion in the Iran war.
The question surrounding how many people support Trump after his tumultuous year in Office for his second term as POTUS has been of interest across the world – and now, we know exactly how people feel.
After his controversial opinions on immigration, LGBTQ issues, diversity schemes in the workplace, and more divided the nation, the tide has been changing as time has gone on.
Just last month Fox News asked voters to explain how they feel about Trump's presidency and his handling of foreign policy, the economy and his tariff policy.

The poll surveyed 1,004 registered voters from February 28 until March 2 and didn’t include voting on the US-Israel strikes on Iran due to the vote occurring before the war.
What it found was that Trump’s disapproval ratings were at 57 percent, led by voters who did not approve of him.
Just under one month later, and a war in the Middle East, and oil prices increasing as a result, the latest figures are in.
While Trump’s approval rating was relatively stable over at the start of the Iran war, Silver Bulletin reported that just two weeks ago, his approval rating was at -13.9.
But now, Trump has a net approval rating of -16.7... A record low.
That’s lower than Joe Biden’s approval rating of –11.7 after one year in Office.
The full figures include his handling of the economy (-21.3) and inflation (-32.7), as well as his overall disapproval rates being a second term high of 46.7 percent.
According to the pollster, this signifies ‘profound problems’ in the Republican’s coalition.
“Obviously, gas prices are a big factor,” Nate Silver wrote on X as the findings were published. “But Trump has profound problems. There *are* signs of erosion among his base. Only 22 percent of Americans have a *strongly* favorable view of Trump. 2028 aspirants are starting to pull away from him. One wonders about the effect of his age, too.”
Similarly, Trump’s overall approval fell to 36 percent, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll last week.
The poll found that 46 percent of voters believe the Iran conflict make the US less safe, while 26 percent of those who participated believe it will make America safer.
Usually, Gallup Inc. provides approval tracking on its website for Trump, however, the company recently announced its tracking of 'Presidential Approval Ratings [for] Donald Trump' is closing.
The tracking has been going on for 88 years, with Gallup sharing a statement with The Post that this comes as the 'context around these measures has changed'.
Gallup spokesperson Justin McCarthy said: "They are now widely produced, aggregated and interpreted, and no longer represent an area where Gallup can make its most distinctive contribution.”
So, if you were hoping that JD Vance could take over during the 2028 elections...there’s some new updates on that too.
