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

President Donald Trump He is expected to show an avalanche of activities during his first six weeks in the White House, when he goes to Capitol Hill on Tuesday to submit to the Congress and Nation.
“The best opening of any president in history,” Trump wrote in the Social Media post last week, while declaring his achievements – many of which are controversial – from January 20th.
Trump, on the eve of his first great speech to the Congress during his second presidential administration, vowed that “he would be big tomorrow night. I will say that he is!”
However, the latest surveys indicate that Americans are divided into the job that has done so far In the White House.

Trump is 45% of approval and 49% of disapproval at one of the latest surveys, Marist College for PBS News and e.g. In addition, CNN’s research, also conducted last week, has placed the president’s grade of approval at 48% and 52% of the discomfort.
In the meantime, Trump’s approval ratings were slightly above the water in another New survey, Including one for CBS News, which has also been on the field in recent days and announced during the weekend.

With the president, an extremely polarization and larger politician than life, it is not surprising that the latest survey indicates a massive partisan division on Trump’s performance. Polls in the center of attention that the vast majority of Democrats lower the President of the Great Thumb, while the Republicans predominantly approve of the work he does in power.
While Americans are divided into Trump’s performance, the approval ratings for his second term have been improved from his first tour of his duties, when he started in a negative territory in 2017 and remained underwater during his four -year term in White house.

One of the reasons – Trump today enjoys rock solid Republican support.
“He never had the support of Democrats in the first administration, but he also had problems with the Republicans,” Daron Shaw, a professor of politics and a chairman at the University of Texas, remarked.
Shaw, which serves as a member of a Fox News decision team and a Republican partner on Fox surveyemphasized “This is one acute difference between 2017 and 2025. The party completely strengthened behind it.”
Trump, during his opening at the White House, moved Warp speed at the White House with a tumultuous executive order and procedures. His moves not only fulfilled some of his main promises of the campaign’s trace, 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 settled some longtime complaints.

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
“She has often flooded the zone every day, often flooded the zone every day,” said Lee Miringoff, director of the Marist Institute of Public Opinion, for Fox News Digital. “We just see that a lot of things 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.”
Although improvement in relation to his first term, Trump’s approval ratings are less six weeks in his presidency than any of his recent predecessors in the White House.
Shaw noted that neither Trump nor Former President Joe Biden “He started with an irresistible approval. This is not like a honeymoon period in which we historically expect the president to enjoy… .Histically, the other side gives you some free space when you first enter. This simply no longer happens.”
Biden’s grade of approval was floated in low by the mid -1950s during the first six months of its unique term as president, with his disapproval in the upper 30 to the lower to the mid -40s.
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.
“He just got mutilated and he never recovered,” Shaw said of Biden.
The average of all the latest national surveys indicates that Trump’s approval ratings are just above water. However, Trump has seen his numbers a little since he returned to the White House in late January, when the average of his poll pointed to the president’s grade of approval in low 50s and his disapproval 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.”
Shaw noted that Trump’s “Economics rating is about minus four, which is 25 points better than Biden. On immigration is above water. His best problem is currently a crime. He is a plus ten on crime.”
However, Shaw emphasized that inflation, a question that helped Trump return to the White House, remains crucial for the president’s political wealth.
“If the prices remain high, he will have problems,” Shaw warned.
