Voter support for Trump decreases according to survey results in America
Donald Trump's Presidency Loses Steam
The comeback of President Donald Trump to the White House has seen a significant drop in his popularity, according to recent polls. Critics are voicing their displeasure on key issues such as the economy and immigration.
The Republican president has been relentless in his pursuit of policies he believes are mandated by the American voters. From imposing massive tariffs to cracking down on immigration, his actions have been far-reaching.
A survey by The Economist and YouGov found a decline in Trump's approval rating, with currently 41% of Americans in support, contrasting with about half in January. Another poll by Pew Research Center reveals a drop in Trump's job rating, decreasing from 47% in February to 40% today, significantly lower than his predecessor Joe Biden's score of 59% in April 2021.
Overall, Trump's average approval rating of 45% in his first three months back in office falls short of every other post-World War II president elected in the United States, according to Gallup.
Results indicate Americans are losing trust in Trump's ability to manage the economy. Voters had seen Trump as strong on the economy last year, but his recent imposition of sweeping tariffs has shaken global markets. The Economist/YouGov poll shows that 54% of Americans now feel the economy is worsening, compared to 37% in January.
Trump's economic approval is sluggish, particularly on the cost of living, with only 31% of Americans approving of his performance in that area. Inflation was a major topic in the November election, with Trump promising immediate price cuts as president.
On immigration, another typically strong area for Trump, he faces adropping approval rating. The Economist/YouGov poll found that 45% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of immigration, compared to 50% two weeks prior.
Polls show a decrease in support among crucial demographics that helped Trump regain power by choosing him over Democratic election rival Kamala Harris. For instance, Hispanic voters, whose approval score dropped from 36% in early February to 27%, according to the Pew poll.
While the immigration issue isn't explicitly detailed in the data, broader patterns suggest discontent with Trump's reliance on executive orders and international relations concerns.
The combination of contentious policy decisions, perceived economic harm, and governance style concerns has fueled Trump's approval rating decline.
