Donald Trump's Approval Rating Double-Digits Above Water on Key Issue—Poll

More than half of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's approach to transgender issues—exceeding his overall job approval rating—according to a new Associated Press-NORC poll.

Why It Matters
After campaigning heavily on transgender issues, one of Trump's first executive orders declared that there are only two genders—"male and female." He has heavily pushed policies and issued several executive orders rolling back rights for transgender people since retaking office.

Trump signed a ban on openly transgender people serving in the military in an executive order on January 27, claiming that transgender troops negatively impact "excellence" and "readiness." Another order in February, banned transgender women from competing in women's sports. Schools that do not comply face loss of federal funding

Recent weeks have seen Trump's approval ratings plummet amid anxiety about the impact of his everchanging tariff policy, which in April saw markets temporarily crash before bouncing back days later. But after a sharp decline driven by economic anxiety, a recovery in his numbers suggests the president may be stabilizing his base and regaining control of the political narrative

What To Know
An AP-NORC poll of 1,175 adults conducted between May 1 and 5 and published on Saturday, found that more than half of Americans, 52 percent, approve of how the president is handling transgender issues. The findings are significantly higher than Trump's overall job approval rating, which the poll measured at 41 percent. The poll has a margin of error of plus or minus 4 percent.

19 percent of Democrats approve of his handling of transgender issues, compared to 48 percent of independents, and 90 percent of Republicans.
