Nonetheless, the clear majority of Americans support the pathway to citizenship for undocumented migrants, with just 24 per cent in opposition. “President Trump’s 49% job approval rating closely reflects his share of national support in the 2024 election, and his 41% disapproval is the lowest it has been in Emerson national polls dating back to his first term,” said Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling.
