The economist has a nice summary of the public's view below this meme graphic with states, demographics, and subjects well presented. Shows that the nation gives Trump failing marks for his performance so far even in traditional red states. His approval is only above 50% in a few western rural states, thats it.
I bet this report cared is still better than his college transcripts he refused to release.
Last March, less than two months into his second term, Donald Trump declared in a long speech to a joint session of Congress that “the American Dream is unstoppable” and that “and our country is on the verge of a comeback.” The president’s net approval rating—now -17—suggests that Americans have yet to feel it.
They are especially unhappy about the way the Trump administration has carried out its crackdown on immigration. Federal agents killed two Americans in Minneapolis in January. The administration is winding down the operation in that city. Even so, Democrats are blocking funding of The Department of Homeland Security, which is responsible for immigration enforcement. Unless the standoff is resolved, when Mr Trump gives his next speech to Congress–the State of the Union speech on February 24th–the government will be partially shut down.
Americans are also worried about prices. Though Mr Trump’s net approval rating on this issue has risen from -34 in October to -24, it is still negative. That might change when tax cuts approved by the president take effect and jumbo-sized refund cheques start arriving in post boxes after tax-filing season ends in April. Or these giveaways might drive up inflation, angering Americans more.
