Where does Trump stand with Americans hours before his primetime speech to Congress?
President Donald Trump is gearing up for his primetime address to a joint session of Congress, vowing to “TELL IT LIKE IT IS” during what he has dubbed “The Renewal of the American Dream.” The president has been touting his flurry of activity since his inauguration on Jan. 20, promising a big night ahead.
With a social media post boasting of his accomplishments and the best opening month of any president in history, Trump is set to showcase his achievements during his first six weeks in the White House. However, recent polls indicate that Americans are divided on the job he has done so far.
Trump’s approval ratings stand at 45% approval and 49% disapproval in one poll, while another puts his approval at 48% with 52% disapproving. Despite the mixed reviews, Trump’s approval ratings are an improvement from his first term, with solid support from the Republican party.
The president has been working at a rapid pace, signing 82 executive orders since his inauguration, far surpassing the rate of any recent predecessors. His actions include cracking down on immigration, imposing tariffs on major trading partners, and freezing foreign aid to Ukraine.
While Trump’s approval ratings are just above water, they have slipped slightly since his return to the White House. His numbers on the economy, immigration, and crime are relatively positive, but inflation remains a critical issue that could impact his political fortunes.
As Trump prepares to address Congress and the nation, he is expected to highlight his achievements and lay out his vision for the future. With strong support from the Republican party and a divided nation, Trump faces both challenges and opportunities as he continues to lead the country.
