Trump Achieves Record Approval Rat
Despite a turbulent start marked by mass firings, rising egg prices,
market volatility, and global tariff tensions, Donald Trump’s approval ratings stayed relatively steady in his first month back in office.
Trump imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, prompting Canada and European nations to respond with billions in retaliatory tariffs, raising fears of a broader trade war.
Addressing Congress, Trump said his presidency began in a “swift and unrelenting” manner, defending immigration crackdowns,
tighter border controls, government cuts, and the removal of diversity programs.
Gallup shows Trump averaging a 46% approval rating in his second term, higher than his 41% first-term average.
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found 44% approval, with 47% backing his immigration policy.
However, a CNN poll showed 54% disapproval overall, and only 39% support for his tariff policies, signaling economic concerns could affect future ratings.
