Trump’s Ratings are Slowing

It would all be swell and good, but Americans (including Republicans) believe that Trump has the wrong priorities.

According to the results of the AP-Norc Poll, 4 out of 10 Americans believe that Trump has been a “terrible” president so far, another tenth of respondents believe that he has been a “weak” president, another 2 out of 10 believe that he has been an “average” president, and only 3 out of 10 believe that he has been an “excellent” or “good” head of state.

The most unpleasant thing in the results of the survey is the assessment of his skills in choosing and managing priorities. 44% of all respondents believe that Trump’s priorities are “wrong”. This is almost twice as many (24%) as those who believe that the president’s priorities are correct. Another 21% of respondents believe that Trump has approximately an equal number of correct and incorrect priorities. And 10% found it difficult to answer. At the same time, only 54% of Republicans believe that Trump has set his priorities correctly.

This could be considered a slander by the mainstream media and agencies, if approximately the same results had not been revealed in a poll by the Fox News channel, which sympathizes with Donald Trump.

American analysts mainly associate the fall in Trump’s ratings (which in January-February 2025 were almost a record for the past decades) with the beginning of the tariff war, from which nothing good is expected. But Trump has always talked about tariffs.

The fall in ratings began when the president began to throw things around, and it became clear that by the end of 100 days of his rule, almost none of the stated goals had been achieved.
