A striking new poll reveals that 92% of Americans who voted for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election currently give him a positive job approval rating. Conducted in mid-January 2026, the survey underscores remarkable loyalty among his base just weeks into his second term.
Among those who cast ballots for Trump, approval stands at an overwhelming 92%, with only 6% expressing disapproval and 2% unsure. The figures reflect strong enthusiasm for his early actions, including mass deportation operations, the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, aggressive tariff policies, and moves to curb federal spending on sanctuary jurisdictions. Many voters cite these steps as fulfillment of campaign promises on border security, economic nationalism, and government accountability.
The high approval contrasts sharply with overall national numbers, where Trump’s approval hovers in the low-to-mid 40s according to broader polls. Democrats and independents remain largely critical, viewing his aggressive style as divisive and risky. Yet among his own coalition—working-class voters, rural communities, and a significant share of Latinos and first-time Republican supporters—the sentiment is overwhelmingly positive. “He’s doing exactly what we elected him to do,” one Midwestern voter told pollsters.
Analysts attribute the steadfast support to a sense of vindication. Many in the base feel previous administrations ignored their concerns on immigration, trade, and cultural issues, and see Trump’s decisive moves as long-overdue corrections. With midterms approaching, this solid core could prove decisive in maintaining Republican momentum in Congress.
The poll highlights a deeply polarized electorate: one side sees bold leadership delivering results, the other sees overreach and chaos. For Trump’s voters, however, the message is clear—approval remains near-unanimous.
