President Trump’s approval rating has climbed sharply in a new poll following his high-profile push for peace in the Ukraine conflict. The InsiderAdvantage survey, conducted August 15–17, shows his approval at 54 percent, with 44 percent disapproving. The increase follows Trump’s summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska, where he emphasized diplomacy and de-escalation.
The poll reflects strong support across most age groups. Adults aged 18–39 and 40–64 each registered 57 percent approval, while support among voters 65 and older stood at 40 percent. Trump also gained ground with Black and Hispanic voters, demographics where Republicans have traditionally struggled.
These numbers suggest Trump’s approach to foreign policy, particularly his emphasis on direct negotiations, is resonating with Americans weary of prolonged international conflicts. His efforts position him as a leader focused on restoring stability and reducing global tensions, reinforcing his image as a dealmaker on the world stage.
The poll also highlights a generational shift, with younger voters showing unexpectedly strong approval. This trend could have lasting implications for future elections, signaling that Trump’s message of strength and diplomacy appeals to voters beyond his traditional base.
Support among minority communities further reflects the growing appeal of Trump’s leadership style. By prioritizing security and peace abroad while also focusing on domestic stability, Trump is expanding his coalition at a time when Democrats face internal division and declining trust among voters.
The latest numbers mark one of Trump’s strongest approval ratings since returning to office and could bolster his political momentum heading into future negotiations and policy battles. His Ukraine peacemaking efforts appear to have not only international significance but also major domestic political consequences.
