President Donald Trump’s approval ratings have seen a notable uptick following his recent summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. According to an InsiderAdvantage poll conducted over the weekend, Trump’s approval now stands at 54 percent, marking a shift from last month’s figures of 50 percent approval and 48 percent disapproval. This change indicates a positive trend in public sentiment, particularly among younger voters.
The poll highlights that younger demographics are largely driving this increase in approval. Specifically, those aged 18-39 approve of Trump’s performance by approximately 57 to 42 percent. Similarly, voters aged 40-64 show a 57 to 39 percent approval rating. However, the oldest age group, 65 and over, continues to show disapproval at a rate of 57 to 40 percent. This generational divide in perception could shape future voting trends.
Trump’s support among minority groups has also seen improvement. In particular, his approval rating among Hispanic voters is nearly evenly split at 47 percent approval to 50 percent disapproval. Among African Americans, however, the figures reveal a stark contrast, with only 24 percent approving and 74 percent disapproving of his performance.
One of the summit’s standout moments occurred when a B-2 stealth bomber, flanked by four F-35s, conducted a flyover as Trump welcomed Putin in Anchorage. This show of military might seemed to add gravitas to the meeting, showcasing the strength of American defense. Observers noted the striking visuals as Trump and Putin walked down the red carpet, emphasizing a moment of high-profile engagement between two global leaders.
In a post-summit statement on Truth Social, Trump pushed back against media narratives suggesting he faced a “major defeat” during the encounter. He argued that allowing the summit to take place on American soil was strategic and hinted that the media’s interpretation was misguided. “If we had the summit elsewhere, the Democrat-run and controlled media would have said what a terrible thing THAT was,” he wrote, illustrating his contentious relationship with the press.
As the polling data and summit events unfold, it appears Trump’s approval ratings are on a gradual rise, reflecting a complex picture of public opinion in a divided nation.
