Summary

Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.

While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.

Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.

Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.

    and its a great tragedy because i prefer to believe there’s a good will that powerful interests undermine in very sophisticated and underhanded ways. it is the game of a duopoly to split the electorate and set citizen against citizen- we see how identity politics has been revealed in so many ways as either vulnerabilities to be usurped or left as poisoned pills for folks to take up and be delegitimized by. attack dogs aren’t born that way, they’re created… and fwiw, there are a lot of people who just want to have a chance to experience this “land of the free” and all the freedoms and experiences they’re so increasingly priced out of.

              Just because you are able to put words in a row doesn’t make it a coherent sentence.

              It’s unfortunate people misuse downvotes. What you are saying is clear, concise, cogent and correct.
