Republican’s poll numbers ‘not impressive by historical standards’ despite ‘honeymoon’ phase, expert says

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.

      Also, until the Democratic party engages in serious reform that throws out the old leadership who keeps collaborating with fascists, slashing our safety nets, and throwing taxpayer money and at private for profit organizations we’re going to keep getting these waves of fascists taking over every other election
