Six weeks ago President Donald Trump It can be said reliably He and his agenda are very popular. His popular support is supported by data: half of the country recognizes the work he does most of his work. Voting average. Although the share of disapproving Americans gradually increased, he insisted Net positive rating.
As Trump prepares to speak at a joint Congress meeting Tuesday night, it is even about the country’s stock approved and opposed his presidency. The share of Americans who think he is positive continues to decline. And it seems that he will see an improvement soon.
Presidents usually enjoy honeymooning during the first few weeks of a new administration – a period when the most recently elected (or elected) president is the most popular and there is political capital to push for new legislation or policies. They usually benefit from independents and some guerrillas from some opposition parties, while gaining almost universal recognition from their own parties.
But historically, that time has been very short for Trump. His average approval rate lasts longer this year Compared to 2017when the public starts him within one month of his inauguration.
This Trump honeymoon lasted longer – Trump won a victory in the popular vote and a push for a higher initial approval rating. In both cases, he was from Quite lowwhich means he has little room for error. For comparison, at this point during Joe Biden’s presidency, Biden Near the peak His popularity.
The occurrence of this revelation is not a huge mystery: the view of the economy, Trump’s handling, has undergone a negative shift, and Americans largely believe that the president does not pay enough attention to the issues they care about. Coupled with the controversial policy stance, Elon Musk’s perceived influence and a rather small mandate, the public’s objection to Trump is right.
What do recent polls think about Trump’s work performance
Look at the latest data that draws a very clear picture. Americans, most of whom trust Trump will be better for the economy and addressing inflation, Losing this trust.
When asked if the national economy is Getting better and betterthe trend is negative: more and more Americans say the situation is worsening, Each Gallup tracking data. Similarly, in the first two months of Trump’s tenure, the share of Americans who believe the economy is “excellent” or “good” has declined From 26% to 20%.
Similarly, February Reuters/IPSOS Survey It was found that Americans believe the country’s economy is increasingly on track, and most people think the cost of living is still too high, with only 39% of Americans approving Trump’s handling of the economy. A significantly larger share, 47% disapproved. Trump is also Obtain negative rating He deals with international trade, job markets, taxation and inflation.
This is a recurring theme over the past two weeks: The latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll shows that more and more Americans believe Trump and his economic policies will “worse” (worse) change the economy (46% say soand 42% say they will get better). And, nearly 60% of registered voters believe grocery stores will become more expensive In the next few months.
These economic views are now dragging on Trump – polls are Warning about less than a month ago. In these investigations, Americans warn that they believe Trump put his attention in the wrong place, working hard to provide economic relief, but instead working to achieve the most controversial part of his second term.
Americans are consistent in this regard: CNN poll released on Monday It shows that 52% of Americans believe that Trump “does not pay enough attention to the country’s most important issues. And CBS/YouGov Voting Provide some more specific details. Respondents believe Trump is focusing more on the border, reforming the federal workforce, and pushing for tariffs rather than dealing with its highest priorities: reducing inflation and economic improvement in general.
Americans are also ripped apart by Trump’s attention
Americans believe that Trump is actually focusing on immigration and federal labor layoffs. The public is divided on this focus – be alert about who is influencing Trump.
The CBS/YouGov poll found that Trump’s reforms to the administration are erupting — about 81% think he is making major changes — but diversity says the changes are “worse.”
They have some differences on these personnel cuts, but they believe Musk does not have as much influence on these cuts as they are now. For example, more than half of Americans believe Musk and his so-called government efficiency departments have “too much” to access government data records.
At the same time, his immigration policy remains the most popular action in his policy. But it’s not a question they want him to be the most prioritized now. These results are Very consistent What the data has been saying over the past few weeks. A month of shock and audit governance has shut down many independent and moderate voters, which has greatly promoted his majority approval this semester. So, Trump seems to be repeating some of his predecessor’s mistakes: assuming a narrow victory is to prove that the country wants to see huge changes and destruction. This doesn’t seem to be true.
