On February 12, 2025, an RCMP Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter touched down at the Lansdowne port of entry. Recent polling data reveals that Canadians view relations with the U.S. as negatively as those with Russia. This coincides with a demonstrated willingness among Canadians to strengthen ties with both China and, more significantly, Mexico.
Trump’s approval rating, as measured by a recent Fox News survey, is reportedly underwater. This revelation, showing a figure below 50%, is generating considerable discussion and diverse interpretations. The fact that this poll comes from Fox News, a network often perceived as sympathetic to Trump, adds a layer of intrigue to the situation.
The low approval rating prompts questions about the extent to which Fox News’s traditional support for Trump might be waning. Some speculate that the network’s influence over its viewers, who often form the backbone of Trump’s support base, might be diminishing. This possibility suggests a potential shift in the political landscape, with even Trump’s most loyal supporters exhibiting signs of disillusionment.… Continue reading
Recent polling data contradicts Elon Musk’s claim that paid protesters are solely responsible for Tesla’s financial downturn and his declining popularity. These polls indicate significant public disapproval of Musk’s actions, specifically his rhetoric regarding the U.S. government and public employees. The data suggests a widespread negative public perception that extends beyond the reach of any organized protest campaign. This public sentiment may be a more significant factor in Tesla’s struggles than Musk’s assertion implies.
A new YouGov/Economist poll reveals Donald Trump’s net approval rating at -13, significantly lower than his predecessor’s at a similar point in their presidency. This represents a dramatic 19-percentage-point drop from the start of his second term. The decline is partly attributed to negative shifts in public opinion regarding his handling of immigration. Currently, only 41% of U.S. adults approve of his job performance, compared to 54% who disapprove.
A recent RMG Research poll reveals a seven-point swing in congressional voting intentions since February, with Democrats now leading Republicans by four percentage points (50% to 45%). This shift follows several polls indicating declining public trust in the Republican Party’s handling of the economy and national finances, including a CNBC poll showing President Trump with net negative approval on economic issues. The narrowing Republican lead jeopardizes their slim House majority and suggests a potential Democratic victory in the 2026 midterms. This trend, if sustained, could significantly impact President Trump’s policies and political standing.
AtlasIntel’s April survey reveals a significant drop in President Trump’s approval rating, now standing at -6%, down from a near-even split in February. This decline is attributed to dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, particularly his proposed tariffs, and immigration policies. Public opinion has soured on both issues, with majorities disapproving of his economic and immigration approaches. The survey, conducted by the firm consistently ranked as the most accurate by Nate Silver, carries a margin of error of ±2 percentage points.
This article tracks public opinion of Donald Trump’s second presidential term using weekly YouGov polling data. Trump’s initial net approval rating is mixed, mirroring his first term’s largely negative trajectory, recently declining further after controversial policy announcements. Demographic analysis reveals strong approval among white and male voters, contrasting with disapproval from younger voters and minorities; educational attainment is also a significant predictor of approval. While economic issues remain paramount, the impact of presidential actions on voter sentiment remains uncertain, as seen during Biden’s presidency.
Three months into his second term, President Trump’s approval rating stands at 44%, with 51% disapproving, largely due to negative economic assessments. His administration, heavily influenced by Elon Musk, faces widespread public distrust; Musk’s favorability rating is notably low, even below that of federal employees. Concerns about weakening democracy and the influence of oligarchy are also prevalent. Ultimately, Trump and Musk’s joint performance has failed to meet public expectations, potentially jeopardizing both their political standing.
A new poll reveals that 58% of Americans oppose President Trump’s tariffs, with a majority (53%) wanting Congress to intervene. Bipartisan support exists for a bill granting Congress a two-month review period for new tariffs, though its passage remains uncertain due to potential filibusters and a threatened presidential veto. Legal challenges are also underway, arguing that the President’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to justify tariffs is unlawful. The poll further indicates widespread public disapproval of Trump’s broader economic policies, with majorities believing they are increasing grocery prices and harming the stock market.
A new Morning Consult poll reveals that, for the first time since May 2021, Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans to handle the economy. This shift follows President Trump’s implementation of controversial tariffs, which have increased prices and fueled market instability. The poll shows a decline in Trump’s approval rating and reveals a disconnect between public priorities (like lowering costs and improving healthcare affordability) and the President’s perceived actions. These findings coincide with growing criticism from both Republicans and Democrats regarding the economic consequences of the administration’s policies.
