While most surveys are showing President Donald Trump’s approval rating far underwater, the pollster that accurately predicted his victory in 2024 has him back in positive territory.
An Insider Advantage pollconductedFeb. 17-18 showed the president with 50 percent approval and 46 percent disapproval. The firm surveyed 800 likely voters, and the poll’s margin of error was 3.46 percent.
“After a period of weakness in his approval ratings, President Trump has come back to the 50% level, near to or exceeding his margin of victory against Kamala Harris in 2024. Other pollsters who also have correctly polled Trump in past election cycles are showing the same upward trend. Rasmussen Reports’ approval shows Trump’s approval on the rise as well,” Insider Advantage pollster Matt Towery said in anews release.
“Basically it is a combination of ICE raids becoming orderly and strategic and obvious evidence that theeconomyis actually turning to the positive. While the last government shutdown appeared to hurt Trump’s ratings, this one appears to be actually helping his numbers,” he added.

White House spokeswoman Taylor Rogers responded to Insider Advantage poll in with a statement,saying, according to Breitbart, “President Trump is fighting hard every single day to make life affordable for working people — from delivering the largest middle class working tax cuts in history, directing executive actions that made housing affordability hit a four-year high, and unleashing American energy dominance to bring the national average for a gallon of gas below $3.”
