Despite facing media criticism and legal challenges, President Donald Trump remains steadfast with the American electorate. A new national survey from Quantus Insights reveals that his approval rating holds a net positive of +3 (with 49.4% approving and 46.4% disapproving), indicating a solid base of support as he heads into the spring of his second term. The poll, conducted on March 28 among 1,000 registered voters, also shows a net favorability rating of +1 among black voters (49.2% favorable vs. 48.4% unfavorable).
While the margins are tight, these figures challenge prevailing media narratives that portray the administration as faltering. Trump is also surpassing his performance in several RealClearPolitics polling averages, particularly in overall approval and economic confidence. Although his handling of the economy shows a slightly negative net rating—with 46.7% approving and 49.6% disapproving—the resulting -2.9 net score still places him 2.5 points ahead of the broader polling aggregates.
The poll’s results counter the narrative of a weakening presidency. Despite political turbulence, the Trump-Vance administration remains competitive among key demographic groups and across major issue areas.

Vice President J.D. Vance, still building his national profile, currently holds a net favorability rating of -1.3 (45.4% favorable, 46.7% unfavorable). Yet his support among Republicans is exceptionally high at 88% favorable, and he commands a majority approval from non-college voters (50%), a key group in Trump’s coalition. On a broader scale, voter sentiment remains cautious: only 44.2% believe the country is on the right track, while 49.1% think it is heading in the wrong direction. Although pessimism still outweighs optimism, the narrowing gap compared to previous surveys suggests that confidence in the administration may be gradually improving.
Looking ahead to 2026, the generic congressional ballot shows Republicans holding a narrow advantage at 46.3% to 45.4%. While this marks a slight shift toward Democrats compared to last month, the GOP remains just ahead. The poll comes as the administration aggressively pushes its agenda. From sweeping executive actions on immigration and voting integrity to trade policies designed to reshape global commerce, Trump has wasted no time flexing his executive muscle.
