President Donald Trump scored higher in how he handled , immigration , in his first two months in office than any other issue, especially trade and the , market, according to a new ballot released on , Monday.
Trump entered business and promptly got the U. S. Mexico borders under control while unleashing a global imprisonment activity — movements that earned him a 49 % approval rating on immigration among U. S. people surveyed by the , AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
The number is higher than it was at the same level during his first term, experts noted.
Fifty percent of people disapproved of his handling of immigration nevertheless. More than 4 in 5 Republicans, 88 %, favored Trump’s approach to immigration as opposed to 37 % of independents and 18 % of Democrats.
Trump’s most suitable concern among Democrats was emigration, on which he received higher approval ratings than on , federal spending, the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians, managing the federal government, Social Security, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the business, and trade agreements with other states. On those policies, Democrats tanked Trump with approval scores of 9 % to 14 %.
Trump’s lowest-scoring issues were the economy and trade negotiations with other countries, on which he only received 40 % and 38 % approval, respectively.  , Far , more respondents across the political spectrum disagreed with his approach at a rate of roughly 3 in 5.
Trump’s performance in general since Jan. 20 was favored by 42 % of all U. S. adults polled versus 56 % who disapproved, essentially the same as when he took office during his first term, pollsters reported.
Overall, the public believes the country is headed in the right direction and at a greater rate than in former President Joe Biden’s final week in office, according to the poll.
Nearly 3 in 4 Republicans, in particular, think the United States is on the right trajectory, with majorities in the House and Senate and control of the White House.
The poll was conducted among 1, 229 U. S. adults nationwide from March 20 to 24 and had a plus-or-minus 3.9-point margin of error.
