In Video: New poll shows Trump approval underwater
No Change in Public Approval Rating of Trump’s Presidency
The latest poll from Decision Desk shows that a slim majority of Americans still disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling his job. The survey asked respondents if they approve or disapprove of Trump’s performance, with 45% approving and 55% disapproving. Interestingly, this result is identical to a similar poll conducted just a couple of months ago, suggesting no significant change in public opinion.
Trump’s Lowest Marks on Specific Issues
When it comes to specific issues, President Trump’s approval ratings are even more troubling. In particular, his lowest marks continue to be on the topics of inflation, cost of living, trade, and tariffs. These issues have been contentious throughout his presidency, and it appears that many Americans are still not pleased with his handling of them.
Trade-Offs: Immigration and the Border
One issue where Trump has received a slight majority approval, albeit with some caveats, is immigration and the border. However, this finding is somewhat taintted by the fact that this poll was conducted during a time of widespread protests in Los Angeles and other cities. As a result, it remains to be seen how this issue will shake out in the coming months.
Online Poll Methodology
It’s worth noting that this poll was conducted online and surveyed all adults, not just registered voters. This approach has been consistent over the past several months, providing a snapshot of public opinion on various issues. While the results may not be representative of the broader population, they do offer a unique perspective on how different segments of the public are viewing the Trump presidency.
In conclusion, while there has been no significant change in overall public approval of President Trump’s job performance, there are still plenty of pockets of discontent across various issues. As the administration continues to navigate these challenges, it will be interesting to see how public opinion evolves in the coming months.
