Title: Trump's Plummeting Approval Ratings: A Breakdown of the Political Climate in 2025 America 📊
Support for President Donald Trump in the US plunges to an all-time low of 42%
It's no secret that Donald Trump's popularity has been on a downward spiral since his re-entry into the White House in 2025. As reported by the agency, the man once touted as the face of 'Maga' now boasts dismal approval ratings. From an impressive 47% on Inauguration Day, we've witnessed a steady decline to 43% by mid-April, with a staggering 53% of Americans expressing dissatisfaction after just 21 days into the month [1][3][4].
So, what's behind this plunge in public favorability towards the 45th President? Two hot-button issues appear to take center stage: educational funding freezes and the appointment of controversial cultural figures [1][2].
Remember Harvard University being hit with grant freeze, or the new chairman at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts causing a stir? Well, 57% of the polled populace vehemently believe that the President doesn't have the authority to meddle with university funding [2]. An even more significant 66% argue that the President should steer clear of leading cultural institutions like national museums and theaters [2]. Some 59% also voice concerns over the U.S. losing its global clout [2].
Despite the rough patch, Trump's approval ratings still ride slightly higher than the rocky phases of Joe Biden's presidency, with his inauguration rating at 55%, dropping to a dismal 38% by the end of Biden's term in 2025 [1][2].
The first few months of Trump's second term saw the implementation of several executive orders concerning immigration, federal agency shutdowns, healthcare cuts, and cancellation of diversity, equality, and inclusion programs (DEI) [2]. In early April, Trump imposed an ambitious tariff regime: a 10% base rate on all imports, with additional 'reciprocal' tariffs and hefty 25% tariffs on car imports and components [2].
