In a recent poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, President Donald Trump's approval ratings illustrate a shift in his strongest issues compared to his first term. While he previously gained support through economic issues, recent data shows that only 37% of U.S. adults approve of his handling of the economy, a drop from previous months. In contrast, Trump’s strengths have shifted to border security and crime, areas where he receives higher marks than on his overall performance as president.
The poll indicates that concerns about the economy have dampened support, particularly among independent voters, where approval for Trump’s economic policies has fallen to just 20%. However, around 46% of Americans approve of his approach to crime, and 43% approve of his handling of immigration, which aligns closely with his overall approval rating.
Trump's lowest ratings stem from issues like trade negotiations and healthcare, with only about 30% of Americans expressing satisfaction with his handling of those matters. This reflects a consistent pattern seen through ongoing polling efforts.
Amidst these challenges, Trump's foreign policy ratings remain steady, but his handling of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has witnessed a slight decline. Overall, the AP-NORC poll reveals that Trump's second term is characterized by a reliance on specific strong issues, while his economy-focused approval has waned considerably.
