U.S. President Donald Trump is showing a decline in approval ratings ahead of the 100th day of his second term on the 29th, as indicated by polling results released on the 27th (local time).
According to a survey conducted jointly by The Washington Post (WP) and Ipsos, President Trump's job approval rating stands at 39%, while his disapproval rating is at 55%. This marks a drop of 6 percentage points compared to the February survey. WP assessed that "President Trump's approval rating is lower than any past president."
Political division remains significant. Over 90% of Democratic supporters rated President Trump negatively, while over 80% of Republican supporters responded positively.
In policy evaluations, negative assessments dominated in areas such as stock market turmoil (negative 67%), tariff policy (negative 64%), economic policy (negative 61%), and foreign policy (negative 61%). Although the positive evaluation rate was relatively high in immigration policy and federal government management, negative responses still outnumbered them.
In particular, regarding economic outlook, 72% of respondents expect President Trump's economic policy to lead to a recession, with more than half of them being Republican supporters.
In a separate survey conducted by CNN and SSRS, President Trump's approval rating was at 41%, a drop of 7 percentage points from February. CNN noted that "President Trump's approval rating on the 100th day is the lowest at least since former President Dwight Eisenhower."
The downturn was also evident in specific policies. The approval rating for inflation management dropped to 35%, a decrease of 9 percentage points, and evaluations of tariff policy and economic management skills also fell. The only area in this survey that received a high positive evaluation was related to gender identity and transgender policies, where 51% rated it positively.
