Trump Hits Record Approval as Americans Express Most Optimism in 20 Years
Three months into his second term, President Trump has reached the highest approval rating of his presidency, while more Americans believe the country is on the right track than at any time since 2004, according to a new NBC News poll released Sunday. The survey found that 47% of voters approve of Trump’s job performance, an all-time high in the poll, although 51% still disapprove. Trump previously reached 47% approval in early 2020, just before the COVID-19 pandemic, and again in October 2018. Despite this historic high, the president has not won over a majority of Americans, and 54% disapprove of his handling of the economy—marking the first time he has lost a majority on that issue in NBC’s polling. Still, voters generally feel Trump is delivering “the right kind of change” on key issues, including his controversial tariffs. The poll found that more Americans support his trade policy (41%) than oppose it (38%), even after a stock market selloff following his decision to impose sweeping tariffs—25% on Canada and Mexico and 20% on China. His immigration policies remain the most popular, with 56% of respondents saying they are a positive change. Government spending cuts were also well received, with 47% approving compared to 29% opposing. Even in areas where Trump has faced significant opposition, such as his approach to the Ukraine war and NATO, more people view his actions positively than negatively—41% and 40%, respectively. On inflation, 40% said his policies are having a positive impact, while 30% believe they are making things worse and 28% see no effect. The poll underscores the sharp partisan divide surrounding Trump. His approval among Republicans stands at a staggering 90%, while only 4% of Democrats support him. According to NBC, this marks the widest gap in partisan approval for a president in the last 80 years. NBC’s findings align with other recent polls. The latest RealClearPolitics average puts Trump’s approval rating at 48.2%, significantly higher than where he stood at this point in his first term (44%). However, it remains below where former President Joe Biden was at the same point in his presidency (53%). In another boost for Trump, 44% of registered voters now believe the country is on the right track—the highest percentage since President George W. Bush was in office two decades ago. While 54% still believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, the shift represents a significant improvement from the previous administration. In September of last year, only 28% of voters said the nation was on the right track, while 65% believed it was on the wrong path. One of Trump’s most significant actions in his second term has been the creation of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a move that has drawn fierce protests from government employees and backlash from Democrats. While the department remains unpopular overall (47% negative versus 41% positive), voters are split on whether it was a good idea, with 46% in favor and 40% opposed. Trump has remained steadfast in his support of DOGE and Elon Musk, backing the cost-cutting initiative as a way to reduce the federal deficit. Perhaps the most striking development in the poll is the dramatic decline in the Democratic Party’s favorability. Only 27% of voters view the party positively, while 55% have a negative opinion—the worst numbers for Democrats in NBC News’ polling history. Based on a report by NYP 2025-03-17 -

US deploys “overwhelming lethal force” against Houthis in Yemen
Stop making it up. I have never defended Putin's actions. As usual you guys keep making statements with no basis in fact. As I already have you on ignore, there is not much else I can do about the nonsense posts.
