As President Donald Trump approaches the 100-day mark in his second term, recent polling indicates mixed results regarding his job performance. His approval ratings are slightly better than during his first term, largely due to solid support among Republicans. Currently, around 45% of adults approve of his performance, but he remains below the average approval ratings of past presidents, including Joe Biden’s 56% approval at a similar point.
Concerns about the economy are particularly pronounced, with many voters dissatisfied with Trump’s handling of inflation and tariffs, which have unsettled the stock market. Polls reveal that 50% of registered voters feel Trump worsened the economy since taking office, while confidence in his trade policies and tax decision-making is waning. A significant 61% of Americans disapprove of his trade handling, and 57% believe the U.S. is either in a recession or heading towards one.
On immigration—a core issue for Trump—recent surveys show a decline in public support, though he still receives higher marks compared to other topics. A slight majority disapprove of his overall immigration policies, reflecting split opinions on deportations and handling border security.
In terms of government efficiency efforts led by Elon Musk, public opinion is divided. Over half of voters view Musk as having too much power, while many express worries about the impact of the aggressive reduction of federal programs.
Trump’s initiatives concerning diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) face significant disapproval from 61% of adults, and his foreign policy decisions also receive negative feedback, particularly in relation to the ongoing war in Ukraine. Overall, the results point to growing discontent across multiple fronts as Trump enters the second phase of his presidency.
