President Donald Trump’s approval rating has soared to 55%, marking his highest polling numbers ever.
The poll by the Daily Mail/J.L. Partners has a 3.3% margin of error and was based on the responses of 867 registered voters received between August 21 and September 1.
The milestone reflects growing public support for Trump’s “America First” agenda as his administration points to achievements in crime reduction, border security, and economic growth, according to a White House Press release.
“This is the highest approval figure we have ever shown for Donald Trump,” pollster James Johnson told the Daily Mail.
The White House highlighted several policy victories contributing to the polling surge. These include a D.C. crime operation that has resulted in over 1,800 arrests, as well as new border wall funding secured through recent negotiations.
Economic indicators have also bolstered Trump’s standing. The stock market has reached record highs while blue-collar wages have seen their largest increase in nearly 60 years.
Job growth among American citizens has outpaced immigrant worker losses, administration officials noted. Additionally, working families are anticipating tax cuts through the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”
On the international front, Trump’s team cited new peace deals and landmark trade agreements.
The 55% approval rating represents a significant increase from Trump’s previous polling and exceeds his highest marks from his first term. The last poll conducted by J.L. Partners in July reflected a 49% approval rating.
The most recent survey comes as his administration prepares for the 2026 midterm elections.
