Donald Trump currently enjoys his highest net approval rating since December 2021, according to surveys conducted by polling company Civiqs.

Data from the pollster showed on Monday that 41 percent of American registered voters had a favorable view of the former president and 2024 presumptive GOP White House contender, against 55 percent who had an unfavorable view, giving a net favorability of -14. This is his best performance since December 29, 2021 and a substantial improvement on his net rating of -22 in October 2023.

Trump is currently polling an average of 1.8 percentage points ahead of Biden according to an analysis of eight recent polls by election forecasters 270 to Win, which put him on 45.8 percent of the vote versus 44 percent for Biden. The former president is currently on trial in New York over claims he falsified business records to conceal the payment of hush money to a former pornographic actress ahead of the 2016 presidential election, with the prosecution delivering its closing arguments on Tuesday. Trump has pleaded not guilty to all charges and strongly denies any wrongdoing.
