President Donald Trump’s survey position on the eve of his first great speech to Congress

President Donald TrumpA flawless showman, on Tuesday illuminated his temporary address at a joint congress session.
“It will be big tomorrow night. I’ll say it like it is!”, On Monday, on Monday, in his first main speech to Congress, he announced during his second president on Monday.
While Trump prepares for his address, he is in a stronger polling station than where he found himself eight years ago when he first entered into White house.
National research published on Monday by Marist College for PBS News and, for example, Trump stated at 45% of the approval and 49% of disapproval. And a study from CNN published on Sunday has placed the president’s grade of approval at 48% and 52% are disapproval. Both polls were conducted last week.

But Trump’s approval ratings are slightly above water on other new surveys, including one for CBS News, which has also been conducted in recent days and announced during the weekend.
Trump has retained a frenetic pace with a lion of executive commands and procedures during his six weeks in the White House. His moves not only fulfilled some of his main promises about the trace of the campaign, but also allowed the president to return to bend his executive muscles, quickly put his seal on the federal government, made the main cuttings with federal workforce, and also to settle some longtime complaints.
Trump’s unprecedented level of executive action
From Monday, Trump signed an 81 executive command from the January 20th, according to Fox News, which far outweighs the rate of all recent presidential predecessors during their first weeks in power.
“The best opening of any president in history,” Trump wrote in a post on social media last week, as he declared his achievements.

Expect Trump in his address to the congress and nation to show moves – many of which are controversial – which he has taken so far. These include highly suppression of immigration, threatening tariffs on the main trade partners, including Canada and Mexico, and an increase in the international agenda of the state and freezing foreign assistance.
The best of the craziest moments from presidential speech to Congress
“We see a president who has safely returned to the area of a great controversy for just over a month since he laid the oath on duty. And here, every day, often several times a day, the flood of the zone,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute of Public Opinion, for Fox News Digital.
Miringoff noted: “We just see a lot of things that happen with a little time to digest the public. The net effect of all this is that there is a feeling, by the public, that some things move only too fast.”

The average of all the latest national surveys indicates that the ratings of the President are just above the water. But Trump saw his numbers down a little since he returned to the White House in late January, when the average of his poll pointed to the president’s low 50 approval grade in the mid -40s.
“The honeymoon is over, and it actually manages, and it usually reduces numbers,” said Veteran political scientist Wayne Lesperance, president of the New England College based in New Hampshire, for Fox News Digital. “I expect numbers to continue to slip because changes in Washington really start affecting people’s daily lives.”
It is not surprising that polls indicate a massive partisan division on Trump’s performance. In CNN research, 90% of the Republicans raised Trump’s thumb, while nine of the 10 Democrats did not approve of the work he was doing. Independent at 59% -41% of the margin is not approved.

Although Trump’s approval ratings for his second term are an improvement since his first term – he began in 2017 in a negative territory and remained underwater throughout his term in the White House – his numbers below where former President Joe Biden started his own mandate in power.

However, Biden numbers sank into a negative territory in late summer and fall 2021, after his much criticized handling of turbulent American exit from Afghanistan And in the midst of the great inflation and migrants’ rush that passed to the US along the southern border of the nation with Mexico.
Bidan’s approval ratings remained underwater during the rest of its Presidency.
