Trump's Struggles at 100 Days: An Unprecedented Low
In a striking revelation, Donald Trump has recorded the lowest job approval rating for a presidential administration in 80 years, with only 39% of voters expressing satisfaction with his performance as reported by a recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll. This statistic reflects a 6-point drop since February 2025, indicating rising discontent among the electorate.
Public Sentiment: Economic Concerns Dominate
Today, the economy remains a chief concern for many voters. The poll indicates that 72% feel that Trump’s economic policies are likely to precipitate a recession. These sentiments are further exacerbated by a prevailing 73% who believe the economy is currently in bad shape, and 41% reporting a decline in their personal finances since Trump took office.
The Key Issues Behind the Discontent
The voters’ dissatisfaction is largely tied to the continuing rise in prices, with 62% stating that costs are increasing despite Trump’s promises to combat inflation. The negative perception surrounding his proposed tariffs, deemed as detrimental factors affecting price stability, further fuels frustrations. Notably, only 31% accept Trump's assertion that the economy will recover in the near term, indicating a significant gap between the administration's rhetoric and public perception.
Who Wins the Trust Battle?
Interestingly, despite these low approval ratings, Trump still beats congressional Democrats when it comes to public trust regarding the handling of critical national issues. This unique dichotomy suggests that while individual policies may be unpopular, Trump retains a foothold in the political arena as a preferred leader in certain contexts.
The Road Ahead: What This Means for Trump's Future
As Trump progresses further into his term, the implications of these approval ratings and economic sentiments become vital. With looming fears of recession, the president faces mounting pressure to pivot his policies in a way that reflects the anxieties of the American populace. His strategy moving forward will be crucial not just for his administration but also for the upcoming electoral landscape.
