The American public is frustrated, disappointed and increasingly angry with the state of 100 -day policy in Donald Trump’s second term in the White House, according to a New CNN survey carried out by SSRSWith none of the parts positioned to change the mood.
The approval ratings of republican leaders in the congress are deeply underwater, the Democrats rushing even worse while their base becomes more and more negative on party leaders. Almost two -thirds of all Americans say that things in the country are going wrong today.
The survey also finds an increasing tide of fear among the Americans who are heading for the rest of Trump’s second term, with many doubts that checks and balances integrated into the United States government are enough to limit Trump’s actions.
“I’m not happy. I’m not sure. I’m honestly afraid. I think it’s the first time I can say that I’m afraid of what has happened, what happened and what happens,” said Lisa Taylor, independent of Maryland who voted for Trump in 2016 and for Democrat Kamala Harris in 2024 and participated in the election.
She is one of the 4 out of 10 Americans (41%) who say they are afraid of the rest of Trump’s second term, up 6 points since February and 12 points since December. This change is centered among democrats and self -employed democrats, 71% of whom say they are afraid of what will happen during Trump’s mandate, against 63% two months ago. Only 8% of Republicans and independents Republican feel the same. This group aligned with the GOP remains largely positive about Trump and is increasingly optimistic about the policy in general (55%, against 31% before Trump takes up his duties), but the share saying that it is enthusiastic for the rest of Trump’s mandate has increased from 44% in February to 34% now.
Half or more of all the Americans of the survey say that they believe that the Congress (56%) and the courts and the judges (50%) do too little to verify the power of Trump as president, and that the Trump administration does not do enough to respect checks and sales (53%). Most independents and democrats say that too little are done to check Trump at all levels, but the Republicans largely consider the Trump administration (75%) and the Congress (54%) as an appropriate balance, while a majority of the GOP considers courts and judges as overestimating in their efforts to verify the power of Trump as president (52%).
All in all, 58% now say that the unified control of the Republicans of the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House is bad for the country, against 53% which felt in January just before Trump took up his duties. Only 37% say they approve how Republican leaders in the Congress manage their jobs, and the president of the Mike Johnson Chamber and the head of the majority of the Senate John Thune have notes of underwater favorability (23% favorable to 33% unfavorable to Johnson, 16% favorable to 24% unstoppable for Thune).
But there is little sign that this dissatisfied audience is ready to turn to the Democrats instead. Approval notes for Democratic leaders at Congress are even lower (27% to approve, a record level for the party in the CNN survey in 2008) and almost half of adults (46%) say they disapprove of the leaders of both parties. The two main Democrats of Hill – the head of the minority of the Hakeem Jeffries Chamber and the minority chief of the Senate Chuck Schumer – are also submarines in favor (20% favorable to 27% unfavorable in Jeffries; 17% favorable to 44% unfavorable to Schumer, his worst note in the CNN survey in 2017).
Gregory Victorianne, a 65 -year -old Democrat from Los Angeles who took the survey, expressed his frustration in the face of his party’s response when Trump returns to his functions. “Democrats must wake up. They must put this man in check, put this party in check and let us know in real time what they do so that we can stay above and fight and take control of the room, the Senate and the White House again. ”
The public also targets evenly if Harris would have done a better job than Trump if she had won last year’s elections – 42% say that Trump did a better job than Harris, 41% that Harris would have been better and 16% that both would have been about the same.
A large part of the problem of democratic image comes from dissatisfaction in their own ranks. While the Republicans and the self -employed of the Republicans largely approve of their Congress Management (72% of adults aligned by the GOP approve the leaders of the Party Congress), those who belong or lean towards the Democratic Party are deeply negative towards the leaders of their party: 61% disappear and only 38% approve.
While republican aligned adults have become more positive towards Johnson and Thune since January, democrats and meager democrats have moved more negative to their own leaders. Jeffries’ favorability rating with this group has dropped from a positive net of 37 points to a positive net of 31 points, all the changes from the unfavorable side. And Schumer has lost significant land among his own supporters, going from a score of 46% to 11% unfavorable in January to a two% of 31% split against 30% unfavorable now.
Although it has lost ground in all areas, the unpopularity of Schumer within the party is notably raised among the youngest adults aligned democratic, because it faces significant pressure to make room for young leaders – in particular following its decision do not fight A spending bill supported by the GOP in March. Among the Democrats and the self -employed Democrats under 35, 14% have a favorable opinion and 24% unfavorable. Among those of the 65 -year -old party, however, prints are largely positive, 52% favorable to 22% unfavorable. In January, Schumer’s democratic opinions were at least accurately broken in all age groups.
The embittered opinions of Democratic leaders are angry with politics among the basics of the party have generally swollen: 70% of adults aligned Democrats now say that they are angry with national politics, against 46% in January. Overall, around 45% of Americans say they are angry with politics, against 39% in January.
The majorities of all the Americans in the survey say they feel frustrated (63%, almost the same as in January) and disappointed (60%, down 10 points since January) with politics in America today. Part of this negative feeling towards the political environment is present on all parties, with 82% of democrats and meager democrats and almost half of the adults aligned republican saying that they are frustrated (45%). Supporters evolve in opposite directions on this measure, however, the Democrats expressing increased frustration while this feeling plunges among the Republicans.
Victorianne, the Democrat of Los Angeles, wants to see more action on her own party. “We need politicians, the democrats themselves, who are in power, … (to) let us know” I took your back “, instead of asking me for my wallet.”
