Fox News Poll: First 100 Days of Trump’s Second Term
still, Economical Emotions are mostly frustrating: 84% are very concerned about inflation, 68% score terms only fair or poor, while 55% are pessimistic about the economy.
Democrats, independent women, women and voters without college degrees are among the most likely to say that the economy is in poor condition, while Republicans, men and college graduates are the most likely to rate better.
“exist Biden Over the years, Republicans and independents have had negative negative effects on the economy, while Democrats have far fewer Democrats,” said Daron Shaw, a Republican poller who helped conduct a Fox News investigation with Democrat Chris Anderson. “Now, as president, Democrats think the sky is falling and Republicans see the light of the sun. ”
By 21 points, voters oppose federal budget legislation passed by the House of Representatives, which the president calls “a large bill” (38% off, while 59% off). About half think the bill will hurt their families (49%), while one quarter thinks it will help (23%), and the other quarter thinks it will make a difference (26%).
60% think they have a good understanding of what is in the OBBB, and while these voters are more likely to prefer the legislation than those who are not familiar with it, they still think it will be hurt rather than helping their families (45% vs 34%).
The legislative view is highly partisan, Republicans Favorite it (73%), Democrats (89%) and independents (73%) objected. Less than half of Republicans believe this will help their families (46%).
Overall, 57% believe tariffs hurt the economy, the highest ever in the Fox News survey, and twice the number of people who think tariffs help.
Although the majority (53%) approve Trump’s handling of border security (46% disapprove), the president would otherwise get negative numbers on the issue: immigration (46% approved, 53% disapprove) and foreign policy (42-57%). His worst ratings are in the economy (40-58%) and inflation (34-64%), with 30 points underwater.
The president’s overall work approval was 46%, while 54% disagree. This is 44-55% of the ticking in April. His highest recognition, 49%, was March 2025 and April 2020. Men under 45 (55% approved) and whites without a college degree (54% approved) are the president’s best scores. Seven out of 10 Republicans consider themselves part of the Maga movement, with 98% of them agreeing.
About 90% Democrats Disapprove of Trump’s work on general and specific issues, except for border security, less than border security (80%). Most Republicans are with Trump, but approvals have dropped to 68% of inflation and approvals for the economy have dropped to 75%. The opposition from independents ranges from about half of border security to three-quarters of inflation.
When asked about voters’ feelings about Trump as a person, his ratings went down 10 points: 45% had positive reviews, while 55% had negative opinions. For comparison, this lags behind Robert F. Kennedy with JD Vance (44-53%), Joe Biden (43-56%) and Marco Rubio (42-46%) and Elon Musk (41-58%) (41-58%), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (41-58%), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (40-45%) (40-45%) (40-45%), Gavin Newsom (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (39-45%) (-) ratings Jr. (48-50%) and Kamala Harris (49-51%). Harris’ higher favor comes from more Democrats (87%), independents (38%) compared to the positive observations of Trump (38%) among Republicans (85%) and independents (34%).
Although Harris is closest, no one who hasn’t tested has ever been tested – not the president, not the vice president, not the former vice president, and not the positive mark of at least 50% of voters.
As mentioned above, most people are worried about inflation (84%), including 78% of Republicans.
A little bit, the future of the United States is nearly surpassing inflation as the biggest concern of voters, with 85% of whom say they are worried about the direction of the country. These include one in eight of one in ten Republicans, one in ten Democrats and independents.
Eight out of 10 voters are worried about government spending and Iran’s acquisition of nuclear weapons, while about seven out of 10 are worried about anti-Semitism, illegal immigration and the use of the U.S. military at home, and about six out of 10 protests in U.S. cities.
More Democrats (87%) and independents (71%) than Republicans (42%) have expressed concern over the deployment of opposition to protests in response to anti-ice protests. On the other hand, more Republicans (84%) are worried about illegal immigration than independents (68%) and Democrats (49%).
All three groups, Democrats, Republicans and Independents, agree on zero issues on priorities. The top three of Democrats are the future of the United States, with inflation and U.S. forces deploying, and for Republicans it is illegal immigration, Iran gains nuclear weapons and government spending. Among independents, this is the future of the country, inflation and government spending.
