A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows President Donald Trump’s approval rating climbing to 35%, reflecting renewed confidence in his leadership, even as the establishment resists his $5,000 dividend plan.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating surged to 35% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Sept. 14, marking a two-point gain since early September. The poll, which surveyed 1,143 U.S. adults over four days with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points, demonstrates that Trump’s decisive leadership is winning back support after three weeks of record lows since his triumphant return to office in 2025.
Despite this positive momentum, the Republican Party’s numbers on the generic congressional ballot trail Democrats by seven points—the widest gap of Trump’s second term—highlighting the uphill battle conservatives face against entrenched liberal interests. The poll also shows resistance to Trump’s forward-thinking $5,000 dividend proposal, with 63% of respondents—many influenced by left-wing media—opposing the plan, including 40% of Republicans and 90% of Democrats. This opposition underscores the challenge of enacting bold reforms in the face of partisan obstruction and media bias.
Economic concerns, such as rising gas prices now above $4.30 per gallon and ongoing global instability, are shaping public opinion. Yet, as polling averages from RealClearPolitics, The New York Times, and the Silver Bulletin show, Trump’s numbers are poised to improve as Americans recognize the need for strong, innovative leadership to restore prosperity and security.
