Summary

Donald Trump has the lowest approval rating of any newly elected U.S. president since World War II, except for himself in 2017.

While his immigration policies and government downsizing have support, controversial moves—like ending birthright citizenship and renaming the Gulf of Mexico—face strong opposition.

Economic concerns, particularly rising prices, remain a major issue for voters.

Analysts say Trump’s popularity will likely hinge on broader economic and immigration policies, with potential political consequences for Republicans in the 2026 elections.

      The USA is a first past the post two party system.

      It literally does mean that. If you talk about all the bad things about the good option, people will pick the worst option. Centrism is empowering Fascism.

      If you truly hate the reality of two bad choices, then you should vote Democrat so that they can pass Campaign Finance Reform and other progressive changes to elections to better represent what the people want.

        Even if the Democrats never pass campaign reform, if the Republican party gets obliterated for, you know, being absolutely useless, it opens the option of third (now second) party candidates.
