Bombshell poll reveals what US voters really think of Trump 11 months into presidency

As we inch closer to Donald Trump's 12-month inauguration anniversary, a revelatory new report has uncovered what Americans really think of his performance.

In January this year, Trump returned to the White House for his second term as 47th President of the United States.

The 79-year-old wasted no time in making some major policy changes, and for the past 11 months has overturned everything from immigration policy to the economy and global trade.

The latter went through massive upheaval due to Trump's new tariffs, and the federal government was shut down for the longest period in US history from October to November.

He's also weighed in on wars and other conflicts, including a historic meeting with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to try to resolve the country's conflict with Ukraine.

At home, he brought National Guard troops to the streets of major US cities in a bid to combat 'crime', including Washington D.C.

Amid all this, Trump's approval ratings have continued to tank – and in October, more than 1,000 Americans slapped the POTUS with an eye-watering 63 percent disapproval rating, which wasn't far off his lowest score ever recorded of 66 percent, in the wake of the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.

Last month, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll found US citizens have grown increasingly unhappy about the cost-of-living crisis – as well as the Trump administration's sluggish progress on the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

Now, a poll from the New York Times appears to indicate a marginal comeback for the POTUS, with a 42 percent approval rating against a 55 percent disapproval rating as of Friday (December 5).

However, the data shows voters are still concerned by Trump's handling of the economy, reports Forbes. Just 26 percent of respondents said they thought the 79-year-old president was doing a good job at managing the cost of living in the Reuters poll last month.

Perhaps most concerningly for him, Trump's decisions on the economy is also seem to be jeopardizing the support he gets from his Republican allies, according to a Marquette University poll.

It's not just the economy that is concerning US voters either, as the Israel-Palestine conflict, the federal budget, Ukraine and healthcare policies continue to linger in voters' minds.

A Gallup Poll last month showed Trump's highest approval ratings remain in areas like crime (43 percent), foreign affairs (41 percent), foreign trade (39 percent) and immigration (37 percent).

Yet his approval rating among white, college-educated men has also slumped, from 40 percent to 47 percent in June, another poll from Fox News reveals.

Meanwhile, a survey on 1,628 adults taken at the end of November, from 28 to December 1, put Trump's net approval rating at -15 or lower for the seventh week in a row.

The Economist/YouGov poll noted how Trump's net approval rating never went as low as -15 for more than three consecutive weeks during his first term.

To add insult to injury, his predecessor and political rival, Joe Biden, had a -9 net approval during this point in his term.

This comes after it emerged former POTUS Barack Obama stands as a strong favorite among voters compared to Trump and Biden.

The data continues to predict bad news for the Republican party next year. Further polls find the Democrats have a strong chance when heading into next year's midterms, with 55 percent of Americans stating they were more likely to vote blue in their district compared to 41 percent who said they would still vote for their Republican candidate.
