When the second term of US President Donald Trump approaches his 100 -day milestone, the Pew Research Center survey finds that 40% of Americans will approve his overall job performance. Data that gathered between 7-13. April out of 3,589 adults of the US, depicts a picture of deep guerrilla divisions and a wide public skepticism against many key administration actions.
Public reactions to tariffs and budget cuts
Trump’s administration’s tariff policies remain broadly unpopular, with 59% disagree with the recent increase and only 39% for. The timing of the survey – the subsequent announcement of Trump of Apr. April on sweeping new tariffs and decisions of April 9 to suspend most tariffs with the exception of China – causes public opinion to remain despite the volatility of the stock market.
Similarly, 55% disagree with federal agencies’ cuts, while 44% support them. Most (59%) believe that the administration is “too careless” as it implements these cuts.
51% claim that cuts are impaired by government operations
36% believe to improve performance
48% expect these cuts to become Americans in the long run
41% believe they will save money
Using Executive Order: A divisive approach
Trump’s dependence on executive commands still faces will. The survey shows:
51% of Americans think they use too much powerful power
27% claim that the level is appropriate
5% believe it uses too little
Economic outlook and international position:
Economic trust seems to slip.
45% now believe the economy deteriorates per year (from 37% in February)
38% claim that Trump’s policies are strengthening the international US
Strong support for compliance with court decisions:
In the middle of the growing legal control of administrative measures, there is a strong consensus that Trump must comply with the court decision:
78% believe the administration should adhere to the Federal Court’s decision
88% of conformity support if the decision comes from the Supreme Court
Immigration policy: the most and least popular
Immigration continues to be the most polarizing policy:
20% quotes immigration actions like what they like the most
7% specifically mentions deportation
11% quotes immigration like what they like
Views of Trump’s Government Style
Americans are sharply divided into the approach of Trump’s leadership:
22% says what they don’t like most is his government style
11% claim to admire his ability to maintain promises or “do things”
Business and Government cuts: Divided views
The tariffs and cuts of expenditure are also very distributing:
15% Indicate tariffs/business policy like what they like
11% disagree with government cuts
Yet 6%and 9%respectively, indicate the same principles as positives
