New presidents in the U.S. usually experience a honeymoon period characterized by high public approval, which tends to decline over time as policy actions unfold. Historical Gallup survey data shows many post-war presidents, including Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Ford, Carter, Obama, and Biden, recorded their highest approval ratings shortly after taking office. Donald Trump's second term is similar, with a drop in approval from 47% in January to 40% in June, attributed to numerous controversial policies enacted within his first six months, including 170 executive orders and significant changes in immigration and trade policy.
Trump's public approval rating has fallen from 47% in January to just 40% as of June, influenced by the sheer volume of significant policy changes.
During his first six months in office alone, Trump signed 170 executive orders, more than the total issued by President Biden during his entire four-year term.
