According to a new AP-NORC poll, only around one in four U.S. adults feel that President Donald Trump’s policies have personally benefited them since he took office. The survey reflects lukewarm public sentiment on several major issues, including the economy, immigration, government spending, and health care.
The Republican president fails to secure majority approval on any of the topics covered in the poll. Even on immigration—a traditionally strong area for him during his second term—Trump’s approval has dipped slightly compared to earlier this year.
While most Americans consider Trump at least “somewhat” effective in accomplishing goals, especially after the recent passage of his broad budget plan, fewer believe he truly understands the challenges faced by ordinary people.
