Just over a week into Donald Trump's second term as President of the United States, a new poll by Emerson College reveals his approval rating at 49%. This is consistent with the support he received in the November election. His disapproval rating is at 41%, the lowest since his first term, while 10% of people remain neutral.
Trump's approval varies across age groups. He is favored by those aged 50-59, with 52% approval. However, he faces disapproval from those aged 70 and above, with 49% disapproving. Among younger age groups, 13% to 16% remain neutral.
There is a notable shift in public opinion regarding the country's direction. 52% believe the US is on the right track, a significant change from earlier polls where two-thirds felt otherwise. This shift is attributed to changing Republican views and fewer independents believing the country is on the wrong track.
The poll also highlights mixed opinions on immigration policies. 54% support changing the birthright citizenship definition, while 37% oppose it. Opinions are divided on allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to conduct raids in sensitive areas, with 45% against and 42% in favor. Additionally, 56% support a pathway to citizenship for immigrants without permanent legal status.
The poll surveyed 1000 registered voters from January 27-28, with a credibility interval of 3 percentage points.
