President Donald Trump

'THIS IS BIG LEAGUE': Trump Approval 'Significantly Higher' Than First Term, 'American People Like What They're Seeing' [WATCH]

This week, CNN senior analyst Harry Enten compared President Donald Trump’s first-term and second-term approval ratings and found that Americans are much happier with Trump this time around.

Trump’s approval rating currently stands at 47%, with his disapproval rating at 41%, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Tuesday.

“Look, the American people really like what they’re seeing, at least compared to where Donald Trump started eight years ago, right? All right, this is Donald Trump’s net approval rating,” Enten said. “This is Reuters/Ipsos, it’s among adults. It was taken the first few days of this administration. Look here. Back in January 2017, Donald Trump became the first president in history to start his presidency with a net negative approval rating.”

“Look at where we are now in January 2025, considerably better at plus six points. That’s up nine points. To borrow a Donald Trump phrase, this is big league,” he continued. “This is a sign that the American people, at least initially, like what they’re seeing. And so you see right here, more Americans approve of Donald Trump’s job than disapprove. And that is very much, very much unlike what we saw eight years ago.”

Trump’s +6 approval rating is the highest ever — beating numbers from his first term in office.

“So Donald Trump isn’t just in a better position than he was eight years ago at this point. He’s in a better position than he was at any point during his entire first term. Things have very much turned around,” he asserted. “This is a very, very different Donald Trump. He’s leading a very different administration the way he’s attacking things. And the American public is very much more in line with him than they were at any point during his entire first term.”
