President Donald Trump’s approval rating is higher than most world leaders, showing his strong influence at home and abroad. A new Morning Consult poll conducted from January 21-27 ranks Trump ahead of nearly every major global leader except four. His growing popularity underscores a shift in political momentum as he prepares for another election cycle.
The Numbers
The poll found that Trump’s approval rating sits at 52%, with 38% disapproving and 10% undecided. This places him ahead of leaders in major Western democracies, highlighting his enduring appeal among voters.
Only four leaders surpassed Trump:
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi: 75% approval, 19% disapproval
- Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum: 66% approval, 26% disapproval
- Argentine President Javier Milei: 65% approval, 30% disapproval
- Swiss President Karin Keller-Sutter: 56% approval, 20% disapproval
By contrast, some of America’s closest allies are seeing record-low ratings:
- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: 22% approval, 71% disapproval
- German Chancellor Olaf Scholz: 20% approval, 74% disapproval
- French President Emmanuel Macron: 18% approval, 76% disapproval
- South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol: 17% approval, 75% disapproval (recently impeached)
- Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala: 16% approval, 77% disapproval (lowest rating overall)
These figures indicate a stark divide between leaders who embrace nationalist policies and those who promote globalist agendas.
The Trump Factor: Why Is He So Popular?
Trump’s approval surge reflects voter frustration with the status quo. His policies on immigration, trade, and the economy resonate with a broad base of Americans. Recent polling shows strong support for his key initiatives:
- 55% of voters back his mass deportation plan (New York Times/Ipsos)
- 88% support deporting undocumented immigrants with criminal records
- 72% of Black voters cite immigration as a key issue (AtlasIntel)
Additionally, Trump’s support among younger voters is rising. Emerson College polling found 46% of 18-to-29-year-olds approve of his performance, signaling a potential realignment of voting blocs.
Political analyst Thomas Gift notes: “There’s a hunger for populist nationalism. Trump is flooding the zone and reshaping Washington faster than his critics can react.”
Boston University’s Andrew David adds: “For Trump personally, these numbers are impressive. His support across demographics is stronger than during his first term.”
Looking Ahead: Will His Numbers Hold?
While Trump’s current ratings are high, history suggests approval numbers fluctuate. Oxford historian Laura Smith cautions: “Modern presidents often start strong, but as policies take effect, sentiment can shift.”
However, Trump’s approval momentum—especially among key voting blocs—signals a political force that could redefine the 2024 election.
Bottom Line: Trump is more popular than ever. If this trend continues, it could shape America’s political landscape for years to come.

It’s been less than 3 weeks for God sakes but in that time his ratings are down 20% I suspect it will go down even more when the courts have begun to banish his E.O. and if he doesn’t rid the Government of Musk he is doomed. If he even thinks of touching SS, there will unbridled Hell to pay!!!!!!!!
