Trump flounders in major issues
The numbers of approval to work Donald Trump sliding– The new data shows that this may be because Americans are not fans of his agenda.
New poll from The Associated Press Nork Center for Public Affairs Research I found that Trump has no net approval classification in any of the eight policy areas surveyed. No, not even immigration.
It may have obtained the highest migration signs, but only 49 % of Americans agree to how to deal with it, compared to 50 % of those who do not agree. However, in other issues, Trump was much worse, including his dealings with the economy. Only 40 % agree to how to deal with it, while 58 % do not agree.
His worst signs came in dealing with commercial negotiations with other countries: 38 % approval, 60 % do not agree. This survey was conducted before He connected global stock markets with Stupid definitions.
These numbers are part of a wider direction. Other new opinion polls show that Americans are not satisfied with Trump, especially in the economy.
A Gallop reconnaissance On Thursday, it found that the economy topped the list of concerns from Americans, with 87 % of anxiety about this, at least a fair amount. Behind directly is inflation (85 %), healthcare availability and cost tolerance (82 %). Worse for Trump, the share of Americans, who worried “a lot”, jumped from the three since last year.
Trump’s chaotic tariff seems to be concerned about the economy, most likely because the definitions Consumer prices are expected to raise.
After Trump is strange “Editing DayA press conference on Wednesday, Yugov It finds that 51 % of Americans do not reject “the recent definitions announced by the US government, including the minimum customs tariff by 10 % on all imports of the United States from other countries.” Only 34 % agree.
However, 67 % of Republicans agree to Trump’s tariff. Gallup’s data finds that the Republican Party voters express their concern less than Democrats on the economy. It is a blatant reminder that even with the threat of definitions to kick the country to recessionand Republicans are committed to their legs. It is loyal less than a sound and more tribal policy, regardless of the cost.
Numbers in the murder of the CEO
Prosecutor Bam Bondi announced on Tuesday that the Ministry of Justice will Find the death penalty Luigi Mangion, The man accused of killing the CEO of UNITEDHEALTHCARE Brian Thompson in December. While the audience Widen The killing, manganese got a The next worship Since his arrest, he has been driven before contempt For the American health care industry.
However, the general feelings about the killing of Thompson More complicated than simple anger. fresh Yugov You find that data Only 56 % of Americans do not agree to Killing, which is slightly lower than 60 % who refused in DecemberShortly after the crime.
Yugov, It is known for strict votingand The question is carefully framing, which allowed the respondents to express the contradiction or accurate approval without supporting the explicit killing. when When they were asked if they “agree or refuse” to kill Thompson, the respondents can choose from the following options: Approval (8 %), does not agree or rejects (12 %), does not reject (56 %), not sure (18 %), or prefer not to say (7 %).
Interpretation of these numbers is difficult. The respondents who chose “prefer not to say” or “not sure”, in fact, sympathize with mangists, but they are unwilling to admit it in opinion polls – perhaps out of discomfort from relying on a violent crime. (In survey research, this “social bias in security” is known.)
But there are also deeper feelings to combat companies in playing. The condition of manganese is intertwined with broader frustrations of health insurance in the Ugov survey survey in the United States that only 30 % of Americans have a favorable vision for the health insurance industry, while 62 % amazing carries an unsuccessful opinion. The majority of Democrats (64 %), independents (63 %), and Republicans (57 %) have an unfavorable view.
Mangarians also attracted worship, especially between Young voters and slimA phenomenon that arises primarily from its anti -companies case, the vulgar age (26), and the physical appearance. Fightly, in the Yogov poll, 18 % of Americans look positively – the same share who look at Thompson positively. The main difference lies in its unhelpful assessments: 48 % carry an unsuccessful opinion of mangione, compared to only 36 % for Tompson.
Whether it is fueled by popular anger, personal sympathy, or Vandum online, a general reaction to the issue remains deeply divided – and it is unlikely to calm down any time soon.
All the news that fits
Americans consume more news in the middle The launch of the destroyer To Trump’s second state, although Democrats and Republicans are controlling for very different reasons.
In general, 71 % of Americans were following news about the Trump administration’s actions – at 5 percentage points from 2021, during President Joe Biden’s work period – Pio Research Center.

Seeing more people who participate in the news is definitely encouraging for us in Daily Kos. But what is particularly attention to Why The Americans pay closer attention.
The biggest driver appears to be fear.
And sixty -six percent of those who follow the news say that the main reason behind this is that they are “interested” with what Trump may do after that, while another 62 % follow the news because Trump’s “related” behavior “for their lives. One thing is clear: few are controlling because they love what Trump does. Only 36 % of those who follow the news say a major reason is that they “love” what his administration is doing.
Sixty -two percent of Republicans and Democrats follow the news because his decisions are “related” to their lives. But when it comes to fear, the party gap is clear: 88 % of Democrats monitor “anxiety”, compared to 45 % of Republicans.
45 % remains great, though. It indicates that even within the Republican Party, Trump’s decisions do not sit well with nearly half of his base. We have seen some of this anxiety play in the Republic City halls in Congresswhere Angry voters They even appear The barbecue of their representatives.
Of course, Republicans are still more likely than Democrats to say they agree to Trump’s actions, but the numbers are not completely strong. Among those who follow the news, 64 % of Republicans say a major reason because they “love” what the Trump administration is doing. Only 8 % of the Democrats created news say the same.
In other words, fear and uncertainty – and not admiration – drive the political attention to America at the present time.

Despite some victories this week – in particular, New Jersey Senator Korea Booker MarathonThe Democratic Party is still paying the price Return on Trump.
