New Poll: Americans Disapprove of Trump's Handling of Pretty Much Everything

[Demovictory9]

But two months into his term, the strength of that supposed mandate is beginning to crumble.

On just about every issue, from immigration to the economy, there are more Americans who disapprove of Trump’s actions in office than approve of them, according to a new poll conducted this month from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.


The disparity is by far the most stark when it comes to trade. As Trump’s April 2 deadline for imposing tariffs on most global imports looms, the poll shows that 60% of Americans disapprove of the administration’s handling of trade negotiations with other countries, compared to just 38% who approve.


The president is similarly under water when it comes to his handling of the economy (58% disapproval), the Russia-Ukraine conflict (56% disapproval), Social Security (56% disapproval), managing the federal government (55% disapproval), and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (54% disapproval). Trump’s strongest issue — his approach to immigration — is a much tighter split, with 49% of Americans approving of his performance, compared to 50% who disapprove.

Overall, the poll shows just 4 in 10 Americans approve of Trump’s job performance as president, while the majority, well, doesn’t.

3. I am still disappointed

in the numbers. His disapproval rates should be much higher. How can any one agree with the illegal shit this guy is pulling?

5. The average American probably doesn't even know about most of it, unfortunately. Between the politically illiterate and

the outright idiots, that accounts for an awfully large chunk of the population.

8. I'll tell you what I tell my wife and parents all the time

The 2020 election taught me with clarity what we pretty much already knew. People DO NOT have any idea what is going on around them. The country is 1/3 MAGA. So he is a rock solid 33% approval no matter WHAT he does.

But the rest of his approval is likely made up of people who just “heard DOGE is trying to find fraud and that seems like a good idea” but honestly have NO CLUE what they are doing and make no effort to find out.

I keep saying give it six months because the other thing the 2020 election taught me is that the “undecideds “ in the “middle” pay attention to their personal financial wellbeing and that is IT. they need time for the tariffs and pain to filter down to them and while they make zero effort to educate themselves politically, they will notice their bank account balance dropping.

4. A majority of senate, house and USSC members approve 100%

6. It should be 0%

and I would guess that most who voted for him who disapprove don't regret their vote yet anyway.

7. "Oh, now I remember why I didn't vote for him in 2020!"
