Contributing factors include the recent stock market downturn, federal worker layoffs, and negative public reaction to proposed policy changes, particularly cuts to the federal workforce and veterans’ affairs. Multiple polls confirm this negative trend, highlighting the president’s struggling approval ratings.

This disapproval, while significant, highlights the deep political divisions within the country.

One month into the second Trump term, the administration’s rapid-fire, radical changes have prompted a mixed response. While the White House pursues a maximalist agenda encompassing pardons, attacks on the rule of law, and controversial policy shifts, early polling data reveals that Trump’s approval rating is underwater, significantly below historical averages. Anecdotal evidence from former supporters indicates buyer’s remorse, fueled by concerns over policy implementation and the president’s actions. This low approval rating has significant political and legislative implications, potentially hindering the administration’s agenda and boosting the opposition party’s prospects.

Donald Trump’s approval rating, initially positive, has declined significantly since the start of his second term, falling from a net positive of 8.2 percent to a near even split. While general support for some of his policies remains, specific proposals, such as a U.S. takeover of Gaza and mass deportations using local law enforcement, garner considerably less backing. Widespread disapproval of Elon Musk’s influence within the administration further complicates the situation. However, Trump’s greatest vulnerability lies in his handling of the economy, with rising inflation and negative public perception of his economic policies posing a significant threat to his popularity.

President Trump’s consistent dismissal of unfavorable polls and subsequent fabrication of inflated approval ratings, claiming figures as high as 71%, highlight a concerning pattern. These claims directly contradict multiple reputable polls showing his approval rating consistently below 50%, a significant drop from historical averages. This fabricated narrative is crucial to Trump’s political strategy, aiming to influence both Republican lawmakers and deter opposition from Democrats. His need to maintain a perception of widespread support underscores the weakening of his political standing.

Trump’s approval rating is declining, a trend directly linked to growing American anxieties about the economy. The rising concern over economic instability is overshadowing other issues, becoming the dominant factor influencing public perception of the president.
This economic unease is manifesting in various ways, from rising food prices – like the now infamous $10-a-dozen eggs – to broader fears about job security and overall financial well-being. This palpable economic anxiety translates directly into a shrinking approval rating for the president, as many citizens directly attribute their economic hardships to his policies.
