President Trump's approval rating hits a new high, surpassing his first-term performance. While exceeding most presidents since Reagan, it remains below some historical benchmarks. The poll also reveals a starkly divided public on Trump's agenda and the impact of his presidency on the federal government.
President Donald Trump currently enjoys his highest approval rating since assuming office, according to a recent poll. The Pew Research Center's latest national survey revealed that 47% of Americans approve of Trump's performance less than a month into his second term. While this figure surpasses his approval ratings during his first term, it falls short of most presidents since Ronald Reagan. George W.
Bush's approval rating at the outset of his second term, however, was comparable to Trump's current standing. The poll, conducted between January 27th and February 2nd among 5,086 adults, indicated that nearly three in ten adults, or 28%, perceive Trump's actions as exceeding expectations, while 36% believe his performance aligns with their anticipations. Conversely, 35% of adults view his actions as falling short of expectations. Americans remain divided on the potential impact of Trump's presidency on the federal government. The survey revealed that 41% of adults anticipate improvements in the federal government's operations under Trump's administration, while 42% predict a decline. Public opinion on Trump's agenda remains sharply polarized along partisan lines. The poll found that 67% of Republicans, including those who lean Republican, support all or most of Trump's plans and policies. In contrast, 84% of Democrats and those who lean Democratic support few or none of Trump's initiatives. Nearly identical percentages of Republicans (76%) and Democrats (78%) expressed contrasting views on Trump's impact on federal government operations. Republicans were more likely to view Trump's recent actions favorably (53%), while Democrats were more inclined to perceive his accomplishments negatively (60%). As Trump enters his fourth week back in office, his efforts to reduce wasteful federal spending through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) have generated significant attention in Washington. His threats of tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China in response to the influx of fentanyl across US borders have also raised concerns. Trump's pursuit of the Panama Canal and Greenland amidst growing Chinese influence in the Western Hemisphere, along with his administration's handling of a deteriorating ceasefire between Hamas and Israel in the Middle East, have placed the world on alert. Trump's advisors are scheduled to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Munich this week, as the war with Russia enters its third year. Domestically, Trump's cabinet is facing challenges from raging wildfires in California, a fatal collision between a military helicopter and a passenger jet in Washington D.C., and the ongoing aftermath of last year's hurricane devastation in the southeast, particularly in North Carolina. Additionally, Trump's crackdown on illegal immigration is putting further pressure on his administration
