New poll shows what Americans think of Trump’s record setting first 3 weeks

President Donald Trump has been back in the White House since January 20 and is already making waves with his frenetic pace. Taking to social media on Thursday morning, Trump proudly declared, “THREE GREAT WEEKS, PERHAPS THE BEST EVER.” This statement comes as he has signed a whopping 64 executive orders since his inauguration, setting a record pace that surpasses any of his predecessors.

Despite Trump’s self-promotion, recent polling shows that Americans are split on his performance in his second term. According to a national survey conducted for AARP, Trump currently stands at a 48% approval and 47% disapproval rating. This divided opinion is reflected in various other polls, with some showing Trump’s approval ratings slightly underwater while others indicate a positive outlook.

One thing that all surveys agree on is the massive partisan divide over Trump. The AARP poll reveals that Trump has a net approval of 83 points among Republicans, a net disapproval of 76 points among Democrats, and is underwater by 19 points among independent voters. This stark contrast in approval ratings highlights the deeply divided political landscape in the United States.

While Trump’s approval ratings for his second term show improvement from his first term, they still fall below where his predecessor, former President Joe Biden, began his single term in office. Biden started off with approval ratings in the low to mid 50s during his first six months, but saw a decline in the later part of his presidency due to various issues such as the U.S. exit from Afghanistan, inflation, and border security concerns.

Overall, Trump’s second term is off to a strong start in terms of approval ratings, but the divisive nature of politics in America means that opinions are split. As Trump continues to push forward with his agenda, it remains to be seen how his approval ratings will evolve over time.
