Disastrous poll for Trump shows White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’

President Donald Trump’s second term has been a debacle, according to a damning new CNN poll released Friday.
A majority of Americans polled in the survey — 58% — characterized Trump’s first year of his second term as a “failure,” according to the poll.
Just 42% of respondents said Trump’s second term has been a success.
There were virtually no silver linings for the president in the survey.
A plurality of respondents said Trump “made things worse” on several issues he outlined in his inauguration speech, while a lion’s share of those polled said the president has “gone too far” in exercising his power in numerous areas.
More respondents than not said Trump “made things worse” on:
- Restoring safety to the United States (39% to 35% who said he made progress)
- Bringing law and order back to our cities (42% to 33%)
- Bringing back free speech to America (41% to 27%)
- Keeping our children safe, healthy and disease free (40% to 26%)
- Being a peacemaker and unifier (47% to 25%)
- Stopping the weaponization of the Justice Department (41% to 21%)
Majorities of respondents said Trump went to far making changes to cultural institutions (62%), using the power of the presidency and the executive branch (58%), cutting federal government programs (57%) and changing the way the United States government works (51%.)
An overwhelming majority — 64% — said Trump hasn’t gone far enough trying to reduce the price of everyday goods, while 10% said he has gone too far and 26% said his approach has been about right.
The poll recorded Trump’s approval rating at 39%, with the president struggling to win over independents, who support him at only a 29% clip.
He has virtually no support from Democrats while 9 in 10 Republicans back Trump.
