Washington: According to Gallup, the brief election momentum of U.S. President Donald Trump appears to be weakening as his recognition rate steadily drops from 47% to 43%.
The decline is due to the American’s response to early actions by his administration, including the controversial 2025 agenda, proposing proposed market disruption tariffs and unusual policy benefits – from gaining Greenland to reshaping the U.S. impact in the Gulf.
Despite previously alienated from the 2025 program during the campaign, Trump’s swift support for his policy has attracted attention, possibly alienating voters and undermining initial support for his presidency, Vanity Fair The correspondent wrote.
According to the publication, Trump’s recent policy decisions, including a proposed renaming of the Gulf of Mexico, discussions about Greenland and the method of tariff trade that affects Canada and Mexico, have contributed to a decline in public recognition.
In addition, government spending cuts have attracted attention, especially on funding for cancer and Alzheimer’s medical research.
A Harvard-Harrisx poll shows that Elon Musk, a billionaire who has been influencing federal agencies in the Trump administration, dropped 10 points from February to March in amid the ongoing Tesla protests.
Among several key issues, public dissatisfaction with Trump’s leadership is obvious. A recent Associated Press-Nok Center poll showed that only 38% of Americans favored him handling trade negotiations, 40% supported his economic policy, and 41% supported his approach to the Russian-Ukrainian war and social security. Immigration remains his strongest pumping problem and has received 49% approval.
Despite entering the office with relatively strong public support, Trump’s policies have been extensively reviewed, indicating growing concerns about his governance.
Additionally, the publication wrote that the Trump administration is facing increasing scrutiny after the so-called “signal gate” scandal, with national security adviser Mike Mike Waltz reportedly creating a signaling group to discuss a faction’s Yemeni attack plan.
The group includes 17 government officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and 17 government officials of Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, whose inclusion has attracted attention.
While the White House downplayed the incident, CBS News-Yugov poll found that 76% of Americans, including 56% of Republicans, believed it was inappropriate to discuss military operations on unsafe applications.
Despite growing criticism, Trump has avoided taking action against waltz, reportedly asking whether the Allies should be removed, but ultimately decided to oppose allies to avoid being under press pressure.
