Polling data is constantly evolving, but President Trump’s approval ratings remain high according to a new national survey from one of the most accurate pollsters.
Breitbart reports that an InsiderAdvantage national survey from February 17-18 shows that President Trump’s approval ratings are as high as they were during the vote results in the election of November 2024. The survey questioned 800 likely voters with a margin of error of plus/minus 3.46 percent. The poll reveals that President Trump’s current approval rating is at 50 percent and disapproval at 46 percent.
InsiderAdvantage Pollster Matt Towery commented on the results of the survey, saying, “After a period of weakness in his approval ratings, President Trump has come back to the 50% level, near or exceeding his margin of victory against Kamala Harris in 2024.” He added, “Other pollsters who also have correctly polled Trump in past election cycles are showing the same upward trend.”
Other polls, like Rasmussen Reports, also show an upward trend in President Trump’s approval ratings.
Towery links the high approval ratings to a “combination of ICE raids becoming orderly and strategic and obvious evidence that the economy is actually turning to the positive.”
According to a press release from Homeland Security, ICE arrested 43,305 potential national security risks, 1,416 known or suspected terrorists (KSTs), and made more than 7,000 gang arrests in President Trump’s first year. In 2026, the department is continuing to focus on ICE operations with a scaled-up force.
Earlier in January, ICE announced that it had received over 220,000 applications and surpassed its hiring target of 0,000 new officers and agents within a year. Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin had said:
“The good news is that thanks to the Big Beautiful Bill that President Trump signed, we have an additional 12,000 ICE officers and agents on the ground across the country,” McLaughlin added, “That’s a 120% increase in our workforce. And that’s in just about four months.”
Towery concluded his review of the poll results by saying, “Basically the country is where it is when Trump was elected. Highly polarized, but at the moment, more supportive of Trump than not.”
