President Donald Trump’s approval rating dipped slightly this month according to data for pollster Rasmussen.
In early September Trump’s approval rating stood at 48% and this fell to 47% in the first week of October. The October number is just less than 10 points behind the Trump’s peak 2025 number of 56% recorded in January.
Trump’s current number is just one percentage point off the number recorded by Barack Obama at the same point in his second term.
