Despite a chaotic start that included mass firings of government employees, skyrocketing egg prices, a volatile stock market trend, and the escalating tariff wars being waged on nations worldwide, Donald Trump\u2019s presidential approval ratings remained stable during his first month in office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an attempt to address trade imbalances and boost domestic industry, Trump imposed a 25% tariff on steel and aluminum on Wednesday. Canada and Europe swiftly responded with billions of dollars in retaliatory tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trump acknowledged in a recent speech to Congress that his presidency was getting off to a \u201cswift and unrelenting\u201d start. He talked about and defended many of his administration\u2019s contentious policies, including his ongoing crackdown on immigration and border control, his 25% tariffs on Canada and Mexico, his severe government cuts and mass layoffs, and his elimination of wokeness and diversity initiatives in the workforce and schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since taking office in this second term, Trump\u2019s job approval rating has averaged 46%, according to the most recent Gallup poll. His overall approval rating for his first term was 41%. His approval ratings thus far have ranged from 34% to 49% at any given point in both terms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
