None of these numbers look good for Trump.<\/span>Alex Brandon\/AP<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n As President Donald Trump<\/span> wraps up the first year of his second term\u2014one marked by US aggression abroad and rising political violence at home\u2014a wave of new polls released this week shows him and his policies at remarkably high, and in some cases record, levels of unpopularity. Across nearly every major measure, Trump is generating more backlash than loyalty, deepening distrust as his personal standing continues to slide.<\/p>\n A new CNN poll released Friday<\/a> found that nearly 60 percent of Americans describe Trump\u2019s first year back in office as a failure. Trump is faltering even on issues that have historically been his strongest, like the economy. A majority of Americans (55 percent) say he has made the economy worse, while just 36 percent believe he has focused on the right priorities\u2014a nine-point drop since the start of his term. CNN also found Trump\u2019s overall job approval rating languishing at 39 percent, down from 48 percent last February. <\/strong>A clear majority say he has gone too far in using presidential power. You can read the full results here<\/a>.<\/p>\n CNN\u2019s numbers are not outliers. A new Associated Press\u2013NORC poll, released on Thursday, shows erosion even within Trump\u2019s own party<\/a>. Only 16 percent of Republicans say the president has helped \u201ca lot\u201d with the cost of living, down sharply from 49 percent in April 2024. Trump\u2019s approval on immigration\u2014still one of his strongest issues among Republicans\u2014has slipped as well, falling from 88 percent in March to 76 percent in the latest survey. Overall, just 38 percent of Americans approve of Trump\u2019s handling of immigration, a marked decline, while 61 percent disapprove. Across the poll, voters say Trump is focused on the wrong priorities, abusing power, hurting the economy, and leaving the country worse off. The survey marked his lowest approval ratings on the economy<\/a> reported by AP pollsters during both stints in the White House.<\/p>\n Other surveys this week echoed the same themes. A recent Reuters\/Ipsos poll<\/a> shows Trump deeply underwater overall, with 58 percent disapproving of his job performance and just 36 percent approving of his handling of the economy. The poll also found overwhelming opposition to Trump\u2019s foreign adventurism, with 71 percent saying the use of military force against Greenland would be a bad idea. Meanwhile, a Marist poll released Friday<\/a> found that 56 percent of Americans oppose the United States taking military action in Venezuela.<\/p>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
