President Donald Trump’s approval rating surged to 54% in the aftermath of his summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to a new InsiderAdvantage poll released Monday.
With 43.6% disapproving, Trump enjoys a net rating of more than plus 10, according to the survey.
Trump’s approval surged by 4 percentage points in a month. In July’s poll, Trump had a 50% approval rating against 48% disapproval.
Trump and Putin met Friday in Anchorage, Alaska, in an effort to reach a peace accord and an end to the war in Ukraine.
Independents and younger likely voters surveyed were behind Trump’s boost in popularity. According to the survey breakdown, 50.4% of independents said they approved of Trump, while 57.3% in the 18-39 age group and 56.5% of those 40 to 64 said they approve. Compare that with 40.1% of those 65 and older who said they approve.
“Donald Trump now has an advantage among every age group other than the most senior of voters. He has improved his numbers among African-Americans and Hispanic-Latinos. White voters are at a near record 64%. Voters under 65 years of age now approve of his job performance by wide margins,” pollster Matt Towery wrote in his analysis.
“Only the nation’s oldest voters disapprove of his job performance, which is consistent with our prior surveys. Overall, his approval numbers are surging upwards post-summit,” he added.
Insider Advantage surveyed 1,000 likely voters Aug. 15-17. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.09 percentage points.
