Only 44.9 percent of Americans approve of the government led by President Donald Trump, compared to 52.1 percent who disapprove, a difference of 7.2 points, the highest since he began his second term and the fastest drop compared to his recent predecessors.
Mexico City, October 30 (However).– The Donald Trump’s popularity has fallen on a slide in his second term. The American President barely has the support of the 44.9 percent of the Americans against 52.1 percent disapproval, a difference of 7.2 points, the largest since he returned to the White House last January, according to RealClearPolitics’ weighted polls.
“In his second term, Donald Trump has fallen faster than that of his recent predecessors,” he publishes in turn. The Economist in his weekly poll he conducts with YouGov, which shows an approval of 39 percent against a rejection of 57 percent, a difference of 18 points.
Trump’s numbers are the worst among the last four presidents that country has had, according to figures recorded by The New York Timeswhich shows in its poll of polls – a daily average of measurements carried out by dozens of different organizations since the day of the inauguration – how Trump has a rejection level of 54 percent and an acceptance level of 43 percent.
“Trump’s two presidential terms began with historically low approval ratings. While his second term has been rated somewhat higher by voters than his first, Trump began his current term with a lower net approval rating than any other president since Bill Clinton. Several other recent presidents have seen their approval ratings go negative in the first six months of their terms, meaning there was more disapproval than approval of his performance: George W. Bush (in his second term), Bill Clinton (in his first term), and Barack Obama (in his second term),” says Irineo Cabreros, Statistical Modeling Editor of the Times.
The Economist In this sense, it indicates that since modern polls began to be used, most American presidents have begun their terms with positive net approval ratings, something that does not happen with Trump.
“Trump’s two terms began with public opinion divided almost evenly. In both cases, his net approval rating quickly became negative. It is currently -18, the lowest since his inauguration, and three percentage points lower than at any other time during his first term,” says the British magazine.
Trump, the publication adds, has launched a drastic transformation of the American government. “Primarily by executive order, he has restructured his trade agreements, the immigration system, the workforce, and foreign policy. He has also used his pulpit (and the Justice Department) to attack universities, the legal profession, the press, and various businesses. Our analysis shows that Americans generally disapprove.”
“Americans are not only disappointed with Trump’s management of such basic issues as inflation and the economy. They also do not like how he addresses issues that were fundamental to his support, such as immigration and crime. This has not prevented him from firmly implementing his policies,” he elaborates. The Economist.
In that sense, a measurement published on October 8 by the Pew Research Center showed how seven out of 10 Americans (69 percent) think that Trump is trying to exercise more power than his predecessors. And most of those who think this way consider their efforts to be detrimental to the country.
Overall, 49 percent of American adults said Trump is trying to exert more presidential power than his predecessors and that this is bad for the country. A much smaller percentage (12 percent) said they are trying to exert more power and consider this to be positive for the country.
