While Trump has never been shy about touting his accomplishments, new polls show that Americans are divided on his performance in his second term. In a national poll conducted for AARP, Trump’s approval rate is 48 percent, while his disapproval rate is 47 percent.

(An AARP (American Association of Retired Persons) survey is a study or questionnaire conducted by AARP among its members or the general public. AARP, as a large nonprofit organization in the United States that supports people aged 50 and older, frequently conducts surveys on a variety of topics related to the lives and well-being of older adults. – Note.)

The poll shows a growing split in public opinion about Trump.

Some studies, including a Pew Research poll, show Trump's approval ratings turning negative, while other polls, such as a CBS News/YouGuv poll, show the president's numbers are positive.

Trump's position in American polls stands in stark contrast to his first term, when he started low and remained in negative territory for all four years in the White House.

"His approval rating is higher than at any point in his first term," said Republican pollster Neil Newhouse.

Newhouse, citing the president's rapid pace of work since returning to power, noted that Americans "are giving him positive marks now not only based on expectations but also based on what he has already done."

Trump has signed 64 executive orders since his inauguration, according to a Fox News count, far outpacing the pace of any of his predecessors in their first weeks in office.

"THREE GREAT WEEKS, POSSIBLY THE BEST IN HISTORY," the 47th president assesses his work without the slightest embarrassment.

But polls agree that a huge partisan divide remains over Trump.

An AARP poll shows that Trump has a net approval rating of +83 points among Republicans, a net disapproval rating of -76 points among Democrats, and a negative balance of -19 points among independent voters.

"Trump's ratings are higher among men, white voters, and people without college degrees. He is viewed more negatively by women, Hispanic and black voters, and people with college degrees," the study said.

While Trump's approval ratings have improved significantly in his second term compared to his first, his numbers remain lower than those of his predecessor, President Joe Biden, at the start of his single term.

But Biden's ratings slipped into negative territory in late summer and fall 2021 amid sharp criticism of his handling of the chaotic US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, rising inflation and an influx of migrants crossing the US's southern border with Mexico.

Biden's approval rating remained negative for the rest of his presidency.
