Here’s a comparison of Donald Trump’s current approval rating (as of mid-July 2025) with the last five U.S. presidents at a similar point in their terms (approximately six months into their first or second term), based on available data:
Donald Trump (2025, Second Term): ~39-43% approval, ~53-56% disapproval, net approval ~ -10 to -17.
Joe Biden (2021, First Term): ~53% approval, ~40% disapproval, net approval ~ +13.
Donald Trump (2017, First Term): ~38% approval, net approval ~ -14.
Barack Obama (2009, First Term): ~61% approval, net approval ~ +14.
George W. Bush (2001, First Term): ~55-57% approval, net approval ~ +20.
Bill Clinton (1993, First Term): ~48-50% approval, net approval ~ +5.
Summary: Trump’s current approval rating (39-43%) is lower than Biden, Obama, Bush, and Clinton at similar points in their presidencies, and slightly higher than his own first term (38%). His net approval remains negative, unlike the positive ratings of his predecessors, reflecting a polarized public response.
Not running for re-election. He doesn't care about the polls.
