Initial reaction to President Trump's flurry of activity has been largely positive. A Napolitan News survey found that 57% of voters approve of his performance while 39% disapprove.
Ninety-five percent (95%) of Republicans voice their approval along with 39% of Independents and 20% of Democrats.
Seventy-three percent (73%) of Evangelical or Bible Believing voters approve. So do 59% of Catholic voters and 51% of other Protestants. Among Jewish voters, 38% approve and 59% disapprove. The president's lowest ratings come from atheists, only 29% of whom approve.
The current 57% approval rating matches the first approval rating for President Biden measured by Gallup. This is up twelve points from Trump's first approval rating during his first term. President Obama's initial approval rating was 68%, while George W Bush's was identical to Trump's and Biden's at 57%.
These results are consistent with the broadly positive response to major executive orders.
