What Americans Think About Trump's First Year Back in Office

Polling Numbers Breakdown

• 52% of adults say they disapprove of the job Trump is doing in office, while 41% approve.
• Approval ratings vary significantly along party lines: 92% of Republicans back Trump's performance, but just 12% of Democrats do.
• Views on his handling of key issues like the economy and healthcare are also split, with about a quarter of respondents saying he's doing an excellent job on each front, while nearly as many say he's doing poorly.

What Americans Want to See from Trump in His Second Year
