Recent polling data reveals significant disapproval of President Donald Trump’s administration among the American populace. Nicolle Wallace, host of MS NOW, discussed these findings, emphasizing a notable shift in public sentiment.
Key Findings from the Poll
A poll conducted by The New York Times and Siena University indicates that many Americans are dissatisfied with the current administration. Wallace reported on her program, “Deadline: White House,” that public opinion is starkly negative.
Disapproval Rates on Major Issues
- 58% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy.
- 64% are unhappy with the administration’s response to the cost-of-living crisis.
- Approximately 57% express disapproval regarding immigration policies, a pivotal issue during Trump’s campaign.
These statistics reflect a broader sentiment of discontent with Trump’s leadership as he enters the second year of his presidency.
Views on Trump’s Impact
According to Wallace, only 32% of Americans believe that Trump has improved the country since resuming office. This stark figure underscores the challenges he faces in winning back public support.
Concerns About Government Control
Another poll from The Economist/YouGov shows that a staggering 71% of the American public feels the country is “out of control” under Trump’s leadership. This statistic highlights a growing sense of unease, even among some of Trump’s previous supporters.
Wallace pointed out that the high disapproval rates indicate a shifting landscape, where some voters who initially backed Trump are reconsidering their support.
Overall, the polling results signal a significant warning for the Trump administration as it navigates complex issues in the coming year.
