President Donald Trump has accomplished several campaign promises, issued controversial pardons, and taken retribution against political opponents in his first week-plus back in office. Early polling indicates that Trump has more backing from voters at the start of his second term compared to the beginning of his first term. However, there is still uncertainty about how voters will judge his initial actions as president.
Polling suggests that Americans have mixed expectations for Trump’s second term. While some view him favorably, others have concerns about his presidency. The economy is a key issue for voters, and Trump’s actions on immigration and pardons have garnered attention. While there is some support for his deportation efforts, public opinion is more divided on pardons related to the January 6th Capitol riot.
On foreign policy, there is support for a focus on domestic issues rather than problems overseas. Trump’s stance on transgender issues, such as banning transgender athletes and limiting access to hormone therapies, has varied support among Americans. Additionally, there is split opinion on whether society has struck the right balance in accommodating transgender individuals.
Historical data from NBC News polling shows that new presidents, like Trump, may have a limited honeymoon period with voters before approval ratings start to fluctuate. While Trump’s approval ratings remained relatively stable during his first term, other presidents, like Biden and Obama, experienced fluctuating approval ratings in the early days of their presidencies.
