Immigration and Economy Under Trump's Policies
In the wake of his first 100 days, President Trump faces scrutiny as opinion polls reveal shifting perceptions about his administration’s direction. While immigration remains a priority for his base, the economy is becoming a pressing concern for many Americans.
Tariffs vs. Economic Priorities
- Tariffs are perceived as leading to increased prices for consumers, impacting Trump's overall approval ratings.
- His deportation program maintains majority support, though economy-focused voters feel it receives less attention.
- Evaluations among MAGA Republicans often center on immigration, which contrasts with broader public sentiment regarding economic issues.
Shifts in Approval Ratings
Despite strong loyalty from his supporters, there is a noticeable drop in approval amongst key demographics, including independents and younger voters. This shift is largely attributed to perceptions of too much focus on tariffs rather than economic improvement.
