| Boilerpipe Text | As of December 2025, about 36 percent of American adults approved of the way Donald Trump was handling his job as president. This was the lowest level observed since the start of his second term in January 2025. President Trump’s public approval fluctuated during his first term, falling to 34 percent toward the end of his first term in 2021.
Approval of Administration
Donald Trump’s presidency has been the source of controversy and debate both within and outside the United States. At the start of his second term, the president only had an approval rating of 47 percent. By comparison, during his first term it took eight days from his first day to receive
a 50 percent disapproval rating
. The President is not the only politician with low approval ratings, as
many Senators also face low approval ratings

As of December 2025, about 36 percent of American adults approved of the way Donald Trump was handling his job as president. This was the lowest level observed since the start of his second term in January 2025. President Trump’s public approval fluctuated during his first term, falling to 34 percent toward the end of his first term in 2021.
## Approval of Administration
Donald Trump’s presidency has been the source of controversy and debate both within and outside the United States. At the start of his second term, the president only had an approval rating of 47 percent. By comparison, during his first term it took eight days from his first day to receive [a 50 percent disapproval rating](https://www.statista.com/statistics/665379/us-president-s-days-in-office-until-51-percent-public-disapproval-truman-to-trump/). The President is not the only politician with low approval ratings, as [many Senators also face low approval ratings](https://www.statista.com/statistics/956206/least-popular-us-senators-constituent-disapproval-rating/).
