Ridgewood NJ, President Donald Trump is off to a strong start in his return to the White House, with a 52% approval rating, according to a Harvard CAPS/Harris poll. The survey reveals that 33% of Americans strongly approve of Trump’s performance, while 19% somewhat approve. Meanwhile, 43% disapprove, and 5% remain undecided.
Trump’s Popularity Among Voters
🔹 Republicans: Nearly 9 in 10 approve of his performance
🔹 Democrats: Nearly 8 in 10 disapprove
🔹 Independents: Evenly split on their opinion
Despite political divides, pollster Mark Penn noted that many of Trump’s policies are more popular than his overall approval rating.
“This is a good start for Trump… Many Americans are taking a wait-and-see approach, but 58% believe he’s doing a better job than Biden,” Penn stated.
Key Policy Wins and Voter Support
The poll tested 11 Trump policies, and all but one earned majority approval. Here are some highlights:
✅ 81% support deporting illegal immigrants who have committed crimes
✅ 67% support stricter border security measures
✅ 60% support cutting federal bureaucracy
❌ Only 39% back renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America
Trump vs. Biden: Approval on Key Issues
Trump outperformed Biden in voter perceptions across major issues:
✔ Economy
✔ Immigration (Trump’s only 50%+ approval issue)
✔ Foreign affairs
✔ Government administration
A Divisive Yet Action-Packed First Month
Trump’s first month back in office has been filled with bold moves:
🚨 Executive orders: Focused on immigration, budget cuts, and government restructuring
🔥 Controversial Cabinet picks: Sparking intense debate
💼 Mass federal layoffs: Over 1,400 employees at the VA dismissed
💰 Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE): Led by Elon Musk, aimed at overhauling government spending
However, 54% of Americans believe Trump’s presidency will further divide the country rather than unite it.
What’s Next?
As Trump pushes his aggressive policy agenda, voter sentiment could shift depending on the impact of his economic and immigration strategies. His approval rating remains higher than Biden’s final months, but political tensions and ongoing controversies may shape the road ahead.

The 43% need to be deported!
You apparently don’t believe in democracy. Last time I checked, all American citizens have the right to vote, not just those who voted for Trump.
Democracy is why we have Trump as President, and he’s doing exactly what he said he would do if elected. Lack of democracy is the shit that’s been going on behind the scenes these last 4 years. Explain how the likes of Warren, Sanders, and Biden got so wealthy on their salaries?
It’s called smart investing.
