President Donald Trump's approval ratings at the moment match his all-time high, a new survey found.
Meanwhile, a majority of voters disapprove of how he’s handling the economy — marking a first in the history of NBC News polls. Just 18% of voters consider the economy "excellent" or "good," the poll found.
Those numbers are even more stark along party lines. Twenty-six percent of Republicans responded that the state of the economy was "excellent" or "good," while only 11% of Democrats responded the same way.
The response indicates a stark shift from several months ago. It is a dramatic change from October 2024, when 5% of Republicans replied the state of the economy was "excellent" or "good," in comparison to 52% of Democrats.
A majority of voters do approve of Trump’s handling of immigration and border security, with 55% endorsing his performance. In comparison, 43% of voters said they disapprove. The Trump administration has promised to drive down illegal border crossings and Trump touted on March 6 that his administration has "launched the most sweeping border and immigration crackdown in American history."

The poll kicked off a day after Trump delivered a joint address to members of Congress, when he vowed that he would tackle the economy and work to reduce prices, after blaming former President Joe Biden for leaving him an economic disaster. Consumer prices increased roughly 20% under Biden’s administration, according to the consumer price index.
"Among my very highest priorities is to rescue our economy and get dramatic and immediate relief to working families," Trump told lawmakers March 6. "As president, I am fighting every day to reverse this damage and make America affordable again."
