A damning new poll has revealed how many Americans feel they've benefited from Donald Trump's policies.

Within just a few hours of becoming president for a second time in January, Trump signed 25 executive orders and has gone on to sign dozens more.

Reportedly, Trump has signed as many as 170 executive orders this year, per the Federal Register.

One of the most recent signings was on July 7 for an order titled 'Extending the Modification of the Reciprocal Tariff Rates'. This extended the date of most countries' reciprocal tariffs to August 1, CNN reported earlier this month, with the exemption of China.

While such policies are said to be brought in for the good of American citizens and to make the country rich again, many of them have proven to be unpopular with Trump's constituents — something which a new poll has revealed.

The poll, released by the Associated Press and NORC Center for Public Affairs Research on July 17, found that 49 percent of Americans feel that Trump's policies have done more harm than good.

Meanwhile, only 25 percent think that the policies have actually helped them.

In a separate poll published earlier this month, it was found that 52 percent of those who took part in the ballot said they disapproved of the president.

Even Republicans aren't happy with the way Trump is running the country, and it's clear that the president is struggling to maintain a relationship with some of his followers.

One sore spot for many has been the decision to not release Jeffrey Epstein's so-called 'client list' that the FBI says doesn't exist.

An FBI report stated: "This systematic review revealed no incriminating ‘client list’. There was also no evidence found that Epstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.

"We did not uncover evidence that could predicate an investigation against uncharged third parties."

Many Americans have since suggested that the Trump administration is trying to hide something. In fact, another recent poll by The Economist and YouGov found that 67 percent of Americans believe the government is hiding evidence related to the disgraced financier.

Someone else who believes there's some kind of cover-up going on is Elon Musk, who made his thoughts public on Twitter.

Replying to someone who insisted that there is no 'Epstein hoax', Musk said: "It's a cover up (obviously)."

Elsewhere, the Tesla CEO noted that 'not a single Epstein client has been prosecuted'.
