New poll unveils Americans' true opinions on Trump, including Republicans

Following the start of Donald Trump's second term, his approval ratings were expected to increase among loyal supporters. However, recent data has surprised many, indicating shifts in public opinion. Since Trump's return to the White House, public approval ratings have been released, showing unexpected changes in attitudes towards his leadership. Several recent polls suggest a change in how Americans perceive his performance. A survey by the Pew Research Center revealed that only 34% of Americans were very or extremely confident in Trump's leadership abilities as president. The study, conducted between January 20 and January 26, involved 8,512 U.S. adults from various political backgrounds. Results show a decline in confidence across six essential traits for a president compared to the previous year, particularly among Republicans. Trump's overall approval rating currently stands at 37%, down from 40% the previous fall. Respondents indicated that Trump's performance fell short of expectations, with 50% believing he performed worse than anticipated. Support for his policies has also decreased, attributed mainly to Republican respondents. The survey highlighted that 51% of respondents lacked confidence in Trump's leadership, with concerns extending to his fitness for office and understanding of government functions. Trump strongly criticized the survey findings, labeling them as illegitimate and accusing major media outlets of releasing misleading polls to sway voters. He claimed victory in the 2020 election and criticized various media outlets for inaccurate polling practices.
