Three weeks into the term, 48.9 percent think Trump is doing a good job, compared to 45.3 percent who hold the opposite view. This according to the average of measurements published by Real Clear Politics.
The support is higher than when the Republican began his first term in 2017 – and higher than it was at any time during Trump's first four years in the White House, notes the opinion institute Pew. However, Trump's controversial policy sparks strong emotions and his fellow citizens are deeply divided in their opinions about him. Last week, thousands demonstrated in state capitals across the country.
When opinion institutes ask about the image of the USA's political leaders, Donald Trump simultaneously has a huge advantage: 48.4 percent have a positive image of the president. This can be compared to 41.4 percent for his vice president JD Vance, 29.3 percent for Speaker Mike Johnson, and 29 percent for Hakeem Jeffries, the Democrats' minority leader in the House of Representatives. The group leaders in the Senate, Republican John Thune and Democrat Chuck Schumer, have even lower figures.
The proportion of citizens who believe the USA is developing in the right direction is still relatively low, 38.2 percent, but has increased by 10 percentage points since Donald Trump took office.
