Trump ended his first term in 2021 with a final approval rating of 34%, the same as former Presidents George W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. His first-term average approval rating was 41%, according to polling aggregator FiveThirtyEight.

Another Economist/YouGov poll between February 23 and 25 among 1,604 U.S. adult citizens showed that Trump's approval rating stood at 48 percent. However, his disapproval rate remains unchanged, with 45 percent disapproving of his job performance. Both polls had a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
