Trump Polling Decline : President Trump's Approval Rating Falls Amid Concerns Over Power Expansion:

As indicated by a recently conducted Reuters/Ipsos poll Trump’s public approval rating dropped to a new low after returning to the office as the American citizens showed concern regarding efforts to consolidate his power.

From the sample who participated in a 6-day poll, about 42% expressed approval for Trump's performance as president, which is lower than the figure of 43% in the Reuters/Ipsos poll three weeks ago and 47% during his inauguration on January 20.

His political adversaries met the acceleration of his term with astonishment. This was because he had already signed as many as forty executive orders aimed at increasing control over government departments, and private entities such as universities, law firms and now even military service academies.

Without a doubt the approval rating of Trump is still is above the levels recorded during the presidency of his Democratic predecessor. However, the results during of the Reuters/Ipsos poll indicate that a good portion of Americans disapproving his attempts to control the Kennedy Center, one of the preeminent theater and cultural institution in Washington which he plans to chair the board of, and the punishment equally too liberal universities.

Approximately 83% of the 4,306 respondents believe that the president of the USA must comply with the rulings of federal courts whether he likes it or not. Officials of the Trump administration risk being charged with criminal contempt for defying a federal judge’s order that suspended deportations of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang who were incapable of contesting their removals.

57%–including one-third of Republicans—subscribed to the position that it is wrong for a U.S. president to withhold financial support from a university if the president does not approve of how it is governed.

Alongside failing to condemn antisemitism, Trump has accused universities of not doing enough to curb it, which explains why he froze a sum exceeding 2 billion dollars set aside for Harvard, along with other federal funds earmarked to other US universities.

66% of the respondents – roughly the same percentage as the previous exercise – do not consider the President as a necessary figure to politically control major national cultural institutions, such as the national museums and theaters. A month ago, Trump instructed the Smithsonian Institution, which is the worlds foremost museum and research complex for exhibiting US History and Culture, to stop passing off ‘improper’ ideology as history.

With respect to inflation, immigration, taxation, and even the rule of law, the Reuters/Ipsos poll exemplifies that those who disapproved of Trump’s performance far surpassed the number of those who approved. Even in his strongest area of support, immigration, only 45% of respondents approved of Trump’s performance while 46% disapproved.

The poll was accurate within about 2 percentage points.

Overall, around 59% of respondents, a third of whom identified as Republican, claimed that the U.S. was losing credibility internationally.

Reporting that Trump should not be allowed to run for a third term as president became the consensus among three-quarters of respondents, which is a stance Trump has publicly made known he wishes to pursue. Despite the fact that the Constitution would prevent him from doing so, a majority of Republican respondents (53%) voted against the idea of Trump seeking a third term.
