President Donald Trump's approval rating for the month of March was revealed in several recent polls.

Trump had a 50% approval to 50% disapproval rating in the latest CBS News and YouGov on Sunday (March 30); a 47% favorable to 50% unfavorable (3% unsure) rating in the Economist's poll released on March 27; a 43% favorable to 53% unfavorable (4% unsure) rating in the latest Gallup polls conducted between March 3 and March 16; a 38% favorable to 52% (10% unsure) rating in the latest Reuters/Ipsos polls conducted between March 21 and March 23; a 45% favorable to 49% unfavorable (6% unsure) rating in the latest Marist poll released on March 3; and a 43% favorable to 53% unfavorable (4% unsure) rating in the latest Civiqs poll conducted from January 20 to March 30.

The CBS News and YouGov poll also showed that Americans had mixed feelings on two of Trump's key policies with 52% of respondents saying they disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy and 56% disapproving his handling of inflation, while 58% said they approve of his program to deport immigrants illegally in the U.S.

A majority 64% of respondents said "not enough" when asked if Trump was focusing on lowering prices, while 55% said "too much" when asked about focusing on putting tariffs in place. A majority 42% also said they expected to be "better off" financially when Trump was sworn into office in January compared to their views now, while 42% said they were "worse off" now.

Last week, Trump's net-favorable rating was reported to still be in the negatives at a -4 percentage, but at a record high, according to aggregate polling compiled by CNN analyst Harry Enten. The president previously had a -10 point rating during his first term in March 2017 and a -7 point rating after being elected for a second term in November.

“All we talk about is how unpopular Donald Trump is,” Enten said during a CNN broadcast earlier this week. “But in reality, he’s basically more popular than he was at any point in term number one and more popular than he was when he won the election back in November of 2024.”

“So when you compare Trump against himself, he’s actually closer to the apex than he is to the bottom of the trough,” he added. “And of course, that’s so important because Donald Trump, historically speaking, has had his numbers underestimated.

“I think it’s very important to compare [Trump] to himself, to understand that he’s actually more popular now than he was when he won, or certainly where he was at this point back in his first term.”

Trump's net approval rating was previously reported to be negative 2 percentage points in February, once again becoming the only president to have a net approval rating in the negatives since 1937, according to Enten. The president was reported to dipped below zero after having a plus 7 net approval rating in January.
