President Donald Trump’s public recognition rating has remained at that lowest level since his return to the White House, as he has shown signs of caution about his efforts to broaden his strength. The Reuters/Ipsos poll, which closed on Monday, was closed
Approximately 42% of respondents in the six-day poll approved Trump’s approval of his performance as president, down from 43% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll three weeks ago, 47% just hours after the January 20 inauguration ceremony.
The beginning of Trump’s term shocked his political opponents as he signed dozens of executive orders expanding his influence both in government departments and private institutions such as universities and law firms.
Trump’s approval rating remains higher than that seen in most of his Democratic predecessor’s presidency, but Reuters/Ipsos polls suggest that many Americans are displeased with his moves that he sees as too liberal, and that he will set up himself to set up as a board chair for Washington’s leading theatre and cultural institution, Kennedy Center.
