Despite a chaotic start to his presidency, including mass firings, rising egg prices, a volatile stock market, and escalating tariff wars, Donald Trump’s approval ratings remained relatively stable.
Trump Achieves Record Approval Rating as Poll Shows Widespread Support for His Policies.
In an effort to address trade imbalances, he imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum, prompting retaliatory measures from Canada and Europe.
Trump defended his policies, including his immigration crackdown, government cuts, and tariff impositions, acknowledging his presidency’s swift and unrelenting pace. His job approval rating for his second term averaged 46%, with polls showing higher approval than in his first term and compared to Joe Biden.
However, his handling of tariffs and the stock market showed mixed results, with a 39% approval for tariffs and 61% disapproval in recent polls.
