Recent polling data reveals that a significant portion of Americans disapprove of President Trump’s budget bill, particularly its cuts to Medicaid, as well as his immigration and trade policies. Trump’s overall job approval rating has declined since taking office, with a higher percentage of Americans expressing disapproval of his performance. Despite aiming for a quick and substantial budget victory, Trump’s approach has faced criticism, with Republican support in Congress wavering.
The budget bill, dubbed the “one big, beautiful bill,” has been met with opposition for its reductions in federal safety net programs to benefit the wealthy. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans disagree with these cuts, with many advocating for increased funding for programs like Medicaid and food assistance.
Furthermore, Americans are at odds with Trump on immigration and trade policies, with a majority disapproving of his approach in these areas. Trump’s support on immigration is dwindling, and his trade wars have not garnered widespread approval among the public.
Overall, Trump’s approval ratings continue to drop, reflecting a general sense of disappointment among Americans with his presidency. Despite these findings, Trump has a history of downplaying negative polls and focusing on distractions rather than addressing public concerns. As Congress grapples with the budget bill, there is a call for reevaluation based on the feedback from the American populace.
