New polling has now reportedly indicated that after his first month back in the White House, President Trump has a 52 percent approval rating.
Thirty-three percent strongly and 19 percent somewhat approved of the president’s job performance, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris survey.
An additional 5% were unsure, and about 43% disagreed, with the majority expressing strong dislike.
Nearly eight out of ten Democrats disapproved of Trump’s handling, while roughly nine out of ten Republicans approved. The independents were nearly evenly divided.
In terms of how voters saw the leaders’ handling of the economy, immigration, foreign policy, and government administration, Trump did better than Biden’s January results; however, the Republican only exceeded the 50-point approval threshold on immigration.
All except one of Trump’s eleven ideas received a majority of the vote, according to the poll.
His proposal to rename the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America was the outlier, receiving 39 percent of the vote. Deporting illegal immigrants was the most popular policy, with 81 percent of respondents supporting it.
Approximately equal percentages of respondents (36 percent and 35 percent, respectively) stated that Trump is performing better or worse than anticipated.
He was performing as expected, according to another 29%.
Additionally, a majority of 54% stated that the president’s actions will cause division rather than unification in the nation.
Mass firings in the federal government, controversial Cabinet selections, and a flurry of executive action marked Trump’s first month back in the White House.
He has taken action to reduce the size of the federal workforce, clamp down on immigration, cut spending, and engage in culture warfare.
Even as controversy mounts, the Trump administration has praised its busy month, especially in relation to his Department of Government Efficiency panel and tech billionaire Elon Musk’s role in reorganizing government departments.
2,443 registered voters participated in the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, which was conducted on February 19–20.
It is a partnership between the Harris Poll and Harvard University’s Center for American Political Studies.
