Trump favorability higher than at start of first term: Poll
The Hill ^ | 01/29/2025 | Sarah Fortinsky

President Trump’s favorability rating at the start of his second term is significantly higher than it was when he first took office in January 2017, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

In the survey, conducted a few days after Trump was sworn into office, 47 percent of registered voters said they had a favorable opinion of Trump, while 45 percent said they had an unfavorable view of him. Another 8 percent said they either had not heard enough or refused to answer.

That’s a marked change from the results of a similar survey conducted a few days after Trump took office in January 2017. At the time, 39 percent of respondents had a favorable view of Trump, while 52 percent had an unfavorable view of him. Another 8 percent said they haven’t heard enough or refused to answer.

That increase in his favorability is driven by Republicans and independents.

Remove the 10% liberal pollster bias that is always baked in and those are some very healthy numbers.

You mean meeting the needs of the American people vs human resource offices and the chamber of commerce gets high ratings? Who would of thought.

DJT is a populist at a time when Americans really needed a populist. I am never sure how much of a true believer he is, but I suspect Trump 2.0 is more of a believer than he was in his first term.

I think he has better, smarter, more conservative voices giving him advice this time around.
