Newsweek reached out to the White House via email on Wednesday for comment. Why It Matters Trump headed into office on the heels of a favorable rating and held onto the positive polling during his first weeks on the job. Trump is also seeing higher approval ratings this term compared to his first, polling shows. Trump has historically been a fan of polls, touting positive surveys in his favor and blasting negative polling on his social media. What To Know On polling aggregate 538 on Wednesday, Trump has a net positive of 3.3 percent with a 48.9 percent approval rating compared to a 45.6 percent disapproval rating. However, in a new poll on Wednesday by The Economist/YouGov, Trump's overall approval slipped. In a survey taken between February 9-11 polling U.S. citizens, Trump had a 46 percent approval rating compared to a 48 percent disapproval rating. This is the first time since Trump's inauguration that his disproval percentage was higher than his approval. The poll's margin of error was 3.4 percent. In an Economist/YouGov poll taken between February 2-4, Trump had a 46 percent approval rating compared to a 44 percent disapproval rating. The poll had a 3.2 percent margin of error.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/ne...ricans-think-trump-record-setting-three-weeks New poll shows what Americans think of Trump's record-setting first 3 weeks By Paul Steinhauser Fox News Published February 13, 2025 12:32pm EST President Donald Trump took to social media on Thursday morning to showcase his frenetic pace since reentering the White House on Jan. 20. "THREE GREAT WEEKS, PERHAPS THE BEST EVER," the president touted. Trump has signed 64 executive orders since his inauguration, according to a count from Fox News, which far surpasses the rate of any presidential predecessors during their first weeks in office. While Trump is never shy about advertising his accomplishments, new polling indicates Americans are divided on the job he is doing so far in his second administration. Trump stands at 48% approval and 47% disapproval in a national survey conducted for AARP. The poll is the latest to indicate an early split when it comes to public opinion regarding Trump. Some surveys, including Pew Research, indicate Trump's approval ratings are slightly underwater, while others, including a poll from CBS News/YouGuv, suggest the president's ratings are in positive territory. Trump's poll position among Americans stands in stark contrast to his first term in office, when he started out underwater in surveys and remained in negative territory for all four years in the White House.
https://news.gallup.com/poll/655955/trump-inaugural-approval-rating-historically-low-again.aspx Trump's Inaugural Approval Rating Is Historically Low Again WASHINGTON, D.C. -- At 47%, President Donald Trump's initial job approval rating for his second term is similar to the inaugural 45% reading during his first term, again placing him below all other elected presidents dating back to 1953. Trump remains the only elected president with sub-50% initial approval ratings, and his latest disapproval rating (48%) is three percentage points higher than in 2017, marking a new high for inaugural ratings. Trump’s current job approval rating, from Gallup’s Jan. 21-27 poll, is not significantly different from the 51% readings earned by George H.W. Bush and Ronald Reagan in the early days of their presidencies. However, initial evaluations of Trump differ in that Americans are much more likely to disapprove of his performance rather than have no opinion, as was the case for the elder Bush and Reagan. John Kennedy had the highest inaugural approval rating, at 72%, followed closely by Dwight Eisenhower and Barack Obama, who both had strong starts with 68% readings. Jimmy Carter received a 66% approval rating, while Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, Joe Biden and George W. Bush had ratings between 57% and 59%. Although Trump’s latest rating is weak compared with past presidents’ initial readings, it is among the best he has received as president. His personal high point during his first term was 49%, which he earned on several occasions in 2020. Trump averaged 41% approval in his first term and is the only president not to receive a job rating of 50% or higher at any point in his presidency. He left office in January 2021 with the lowest rating of his presidency, 34%, after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Too early for an official prediction but a 2026 blue tsunami might be forming.Trump will have done most of his damage by then though.
Blue money is being cutoff, no money = no coalition. DOJ and FBI should root out election fraud, nailing the Dem-Rino-Uni-party's coffin shut. US should do what Argentina and El Salvador are doing.
Trump's screwed he either follows through on his policies and damages the economy or he reneges on most of them and looks like a giant pussy to his hard core supporters. Term one he destroyed so much than basically reinstated Trump branded policies that weren't all that much different than the originals. Usually the negative impacts forced his hand when he realized his changes didn't work. Let's see how this transpires. One thing he is good at is arbitrarily reducing tax rates for high income people.
The reason why you turn an aircraft carrier slowly is if you don’t it will tip over. Some of what Trump wants to do is legit, like reducing spending and increasing deportations. Whether you agree with it or not, it is within the authority of the president. The way Trump is going about it is absolutely reckless and haphazard. And a lot of what he is doing will have impacts across the political spectrum. So yeah, he is going to come off of those highs pretty quick. The real question is how bad will his approval rating be come March, when Congress is working out a reconciliation bill. The lower Trumps approval rating in March the more cautious Congress will be.
I was just jealously thinking about this Amazon tribesman with no connection (yet) to the attention economy which Trump is over-boiling. https://edition.cnn.com/2025/02/15/...ex.html?iid=cnn_buildContentRecirc_end_recirc Isolated Indigenous man makes brief contact with outside world, then returns to tribe in the Amazon rainforest Trump show exhaustion is certainly a factor.
