2017 US Politics - President Trump’s Approval Rating is Now at 37% Approving (August 30)

President Trump’s approval rating has plateaued in recent weeks, now at 37% approving and 58% disapproving of the way he is doing his job as President. While these rating naturally fall out along party lines, the data shows just a third of Independents (34%) indicating approval of the President.

Also in line with recent weeks, two thirds of Americans (65%) currently believe the US is on the wrong track and under a quarter (23%) think things are heading in the right direction. When it comes to the most important problems facing the country, 16% say healthcare, closely followed by terrorism (14%) and the economy (11%).

These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters August 25-29, 2017. For the survey, a sample of 1,767 Americans, ages 18+ were interviewed online.
