President Donald Trump got a dose of good news on the political front Monday, as a new InsiderAdvantage survey of likely voters showed his job approval back at the 50% mark, his strongest showing in nearly three months.
InsiderAdvantage asked respondents, "What is your opinion of the job performance of President Donald Trump?"
That garnered a 50% approval rating:
-50% approve of Trump's job performance
-41% disapprove
-9% undecided
The result represents Trump's best approval rating in the InsiderAdvantage series since late September, when the poll registered 52% approval.
It also produced a 9-point net approval, the widest positive spread for Trump in the firm's polling since mid-August, when it measured a 10-point edge of 54% approval to 44% disapproval.
Pollster Matt Towery, who oversaw the survey, tied the movement to recent events, including Trump's Dec. 17 address to the nation and fresh inflation data.
"After months of Trump hovering at or above 50% approval, our November survey showed a dip to 44%. But in recent days, his approval has moved back into the 50% range," Towery said.
Towery said in a statement that the improvement was driven by gains across several groups, including independent voters, younger voters, and women, though he cautioned that a sizable share of respondents — particularly independents — remained undecided, signaling potential volatility ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

Is this poll legit, or a rightwing propaganda tool? Just asking.
A reasonable question.
As it was not accompanied by a request for a donation to support a political action group, it is likely more reliably honest, although it may be promoted by a financial interest group that desires stability in one or more financial markets.
So not so right wing, more good guy right leaning.
A little high, I think. The Blue States really drag him down. He is defenseless at about 53 Percent approve I the Magenta States at least.
Defenetly
Polls are nonsense. Remember when senile Joe was leading us to destruction?
Polls said a majority approved of the senile old man.
President Trump is still in charge. Instead of listening to polls, best to tune it all out till the mid term elections.The mid terms will be the prime indicator of Trump’s rating.
Good or bad, President Trump has free reign till the mid terms. That said, the MSM, liberals and democrats will continue to torpedo everything he does. We should already be used to their hate, discontent, and lies.
Insider Advantage was one of the top 3 or 4 most accurate pollsters in the 24 election.
Expect Trump’s approval to continue to rise as the price of gas continues to fall. Moving down in price considerably over the last month.
My bad, there were #2, right behind Atlas Intel.
That, I Do.
Thanks, Trader!
I think, that his recent TV address helped a lot.
People started thinking and listening to him, instead of listening to media anti Trump propaganda.
He should do it a lot more often!
Rove will be upset and dismiss this
It’s one poll Jessica Tarlov didn’t reference on The Five today, for some odd reason.😏
Seems nobody cared about the Rob Reiner tweets.
My wife and I did not like what he said but he still the best President in our lifetime.
It only matters if the opposition is polling higher.
I watched them live, and I Fully Agree!
It is kind of easy to see when Trump is using teleprompter.
He normally uses none, and tends to digress often.
That’s what Trump’s fans love and he is great in it!
Since he speaks of the cuff, his opponents can often pick some phrases and twist them around to make him sound bad and feed their TDS.
Sometimes, when it is too important to express himself clearly or when time is of essence, Trump uses teleprompter and kind of rushes through it.
It is not what Trump’s fans like, but it is effective for the other 70% of the population.
Trump address was aimed mostly on the people, who do not care too much about politics, but want to have job, house, food on the table, safety, toys of their choosing, etc.
You and me know lots of them!
