Taking a deeper dive: what do Americans think?
A fresh poll from ABC News, The Washington Post, and Ipsos reveals that just 39% are on board with how President Trump has been doing. That means there's been a six-point dip since February. Meanwhile, 55% are not too happy with his actions so far, which clearly shows some hurdles ahead. Looking back, Trump himself held a previous low record at 42% during his initial term in 2017. This poll drew from 2,464 adults across a range, giving us a solid view on what people are feeling right now.
Concerns about Trump policies and governance
But it ain't just about approval ratings; people are worried about specific policies and behavior from Trump's team. A striking 62% think his administration isn't respecting rule-of-law standards, which, let's face it, isn't good news. On top, more than half aren't pleased with his immigration stance, while 67% aren't fans at all about ending birthright citizenship. Internationally, folks aren't too thrilled either; 57% say Trump went overboard with actions like federal agency shutdowns, hinting at broader worries about government control.
Protests aren't just online or on paper. Activists made a bold statement with 200 fake coffins outside State Department headquarters in response, highlighting what they see as dire consequences from frozen international aid, especially regarding AIDS relief.
How does Trump stack up against past presidents?
Approval ratings have always been a litmus test. Back in January, FiveThirtyEight showed Trump at a seven-point positive, which isn't exactly stellar compared with anyone in his shoes since WWII. This puts a spotlight on his struggle with gaining broad support.
Interestingly, Trump hasn't shied away from battling with these poll numbers either. On Truth Social, he called out pollsters, even those usually in his corner, as "negative criminals" allegedly plagued by "Trump Derangement Syndrome." He didn't stop there—he suggested going after them over supposed election fraud.
Yet, despite these fiery accusations, what we're seeing in numbers tells a story about a divided nation, reacting fiercely as Trump's policies come rolling out. It'll be interesting, maybe even a little unpredictable, how this all affects future policies and how he's perceived down this long road.
