Looking at the number’s election day vs. today. Trump’s job approval vs. the percentage of votes received.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/approval/donald-trump/approval-ratingTrump approval and disapproval numbers almost exactly match those who voted for and against him. 49.2% approve, 49.8% voted for Trump, 47.8% disapprove, 48.3% voted against him or for Harris not counting those who voted against both by casting a ballot for a third-party candidate.
How about those who see Trump either favorably or unfavorably today vs. his vote total from November.
https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/favorability/donald-trump47.9% of all Americans have a favorable view of Trump, 49.8% voted for Trump, 48.7% view Trump unfavorably, 48.3% voted for Harris. Not quite as close as is Trump’s job approval/disapproval, but still very close to being about as close a match as one could expect to get.
It's a case of good news/bad news. The bad news is Trump hasn’t lost any support from November to today, after one month in office. The good news; Trump hasn’t gained any new support, he’s almost exactly where he was back on 5 Nov 2024. Everything Trump has done so far, it hasn’t increased or decreased his popularity or overall job approval. We’re just as evenly divided as a nation today when it comes to Trump as we were back on election day.
