robe...Destroying the rules based international order will have dire consequences for humanity: economies will flounder, nations will attack each other and millions of lives will be lost.
hale...It feels that unbiased media rarely exists, people are normalizing Nazi, Racist and Fascist rhetoric. The United Stated democracy is crumbling before our eyes and it feels like it’s not being taken seriously.
dona...A track record of lies and indiscriminate attacks on the poor and disadvantaged. Policies that benefit the rich. Not only is he harming people at home, he is compromising national security by isolating us from our allies and promoting the agenda of dictators.
hotc...Best president ever! The only reason for any negative votes has to be because he is aggressive and has harsh personality. But he has a right to be cocky! He doing so much good! Is he going in a little strong, yes. Is he talking crap about the Dems when he should be more tackful, yes. But despite weather or not people like his approach, the outcome is what's best for Americans!
cynm...He is working towards everything he campaigned on and has made incredible changes since taking office. It is refreshing to have a president finally doing what he promised instead of the opposite completed by recent presidents. Not to name names, since America knows already.
gsvi...Can't stand the person, but you can't argue with the results. China no longer controls the Panama Canal, the border is significantly more secure and much waste is on its way out of the federal govt.
chri...too much destruction and not a lot of thought about consequences of actions
kell...He is destabilizing our economy.
tom_...HE IS BEING THE ADULT IN THE ROOM. DOING WHAT IS NEEDED. OF COURSE, THE CHILDREN DON'T LIKE IT.
them...too many issues, both positive and negative to lump sum in opinion
bben...Wish I was American.( I’m Canadian)
jcor...He is incompetent. He has violated the Constitution, our laws and his oath of office. He has intentionally cut funding to programs the world and his country needs and he's ruining relationships with long-time allies. It's appalling and embarrassing to be an American right now.
jrfu...Shameful in many if not most respects!
jill...I didn't vote for him and disapprove of his actions with all of my being. I walk around feeling ashamed that our country looks like this because of him and all of his followers.
zorr...He's an asshole.
lisa...I hate him and I hope he doesn’t last for more than a day. I’m not doing this for the next thousand days and I’m glad he’s not able to run again. I just hate him so much.
iwal...Fascism is now the USA
geor... With Elon Musk at the helm trying to make a business out of the government - which unlike businesses is not here to make money but to take care of Americans - especially Veterans, the elderly, the young, etc.. The main work of a President is to protect the country and to uphold the laws passed by Congress. Most of what the President and Mr. Musk have done so far is against the law and the courts are already stepping in. And their efforts have caused alarm in the stock market with all the chaos and uncertainty. In addition, with all the people being laid off and all the federal contracts being cancelled, the hit to the unemployment rate by the end of October will again cause Wall Street to pull back. Due to poor planning, many government workers have been laid off and then someone realizes that they were wrong and didn't realize the importance of their jobs and then tries to call them back. In addition, they keep saying how much money they are saving the government - billions. Then you see they go back and remove the items and/or update the dollar amounts first stated. Just one item started out being a savings of $8 billion dollars only to be updated to $80,000. I want to see careful planning not made for TV drama!
glic...His administration is anti democratic and is changing the view’s of the world community regarding who we are. Now the view is that we are bullies and not reliable allies. It will take decades to fix this. I suggest Americans will see a different attitude from the world when traveling and doing business overseas.
spot...he is attempting to destroy democracy, he is setting us up for poverty and disease and devastation...he is a felon among many other descriptions. How was he even allowed to run for president? Our country is being run by a criminal! How has anything he's done so far making America great?
dana...We have already seen more of him in 40 days than we did of Biden in his 4 years.
lisa...Horrific fascist dictatorship Trying to use tactic's, threats, to cause fear so we won’t speak up, protest, resist, to express out freedom, rights. He’s destroying democracy and stealing from us, to keep fill billionaires pockets. Wish we had better leaders- Congress. Senate where are you?
genr...The negative votes are against the man, not the policies. They would laud these moves had anyone else put them into effect. They have been brainwashed by the most negative media campaign in American history.
klfa...Trump is incapable of service, and his narcissism prevents introspection, study, empathy and prioritization of any type of ethos or ideal above the cult of personality. Ronald Reagan would roll over in his grave watching this modern day Alcibiades abandon our allies and embrace our enemies. It is a tragedy.
ejhi...I’ve never been more ashamed to be an American. His whole administration is a disgrace.
stuy...He doesn’t know what he’s doing he’s going to bankrupt America
brod...It is a disastrous move toward authoritarian oligarchy, founded on an endless stream of lies.
jone...The duck needs to pay his taxes!!
watc...When he only polls the people in his inner circle for approval ratings, and not the entire population of the American People he is to serve or the world at large...of course they'll tell him he's doing fine. Afterall, Putin said Trump's policies align with his...that's the only person he wants to please...high praise indeed. Ps...real leaders don't blame. Biden is not Pres. He is.
taho...There is no “United” left in our country.
kaci...He is a reckless dipshit child
mari...As expected, blame others for what is otherwise less than wonderful and the continue making false claims. He is the present day Hilter, as proclaimed by his now vice president.
shar...i think Trump wants too much control and is very dated in his beliefs!
norm...Barrage of lies
dere...TDS prevents people from truly seeing what is happening
kaya...Totally inappropriate for Trump to allow Elon Musk into private government files... Current pausing of funds to help Ukraine is absolutely inappropriate, a total abdicates the American history in funding against tyranny.. looks like Trump's supporting Putin more than he supporting the American history of helping our European neighbors
mlog...Negative isn’t a strong enough word. Terrified, horrified, heartbroken, disgusted. I am a 71 year old female and have lived through a lot of presidents. I voted for Nixon in 1972. That was embarrassing. This is shameful. I feel ashamed to call myself an American.
coll...Perhaps, instead of quickly laying off hoards of people when you don’t know what they do for us, Elon should rescind his and his companies’ tax breaks. There. Problem solved, and the extra could be used for good.
mlge...Had hope for Doge, but they are operating with battering rams, vs. careful surgery. I'm outraged at Pres. Trump calling Ukraine the CAUSE of the war! Putin is an evil power grabber, and he's wrecking his own country along with Ukraine. He also wants to wreck (control) other countries.
idiv...Hes consistently making poor policy decisions that hurt the american people and our allies all the while lining his and his cronies pockets! Hes adding debt by the trillions and lying about most everything! God help us!
edua...A diplomatic disaster which consequences are yet to be seen and suffered.
larr...These non scientific polls mean nothing since more scientific poll confirms a majority of Americans support his efforts. The day the tariffs kick in is a bad day for this type of poll when emotions are high and the mainstream media is bashing him with bad cut and paste talking points.
jdal...He is a piece of sh t.
midc...Scary
glrg...He’s an embarrassment to himself and our country and is taking away our rights, jobs, and benefits, as well as creating higher inflation by these crazy tariffs.
bosm...He's going to set our country back decades!
kibb...Lies, global disruption, siding with dictators and villains. Trump and the maga movement are catastrophic for America.
bdh2...He’s an embarrassment
mphu...Just spreading hate and division
hjst...He has eliminated congress and ignored the Constitution on many of his Executive Orders. He has alienated our allies. I think he is putting the world on a path to war.
ykbo...He’s keeping his promises, and rescuing us fro woke insanity.
ress...Firing so many government workers for no reason was inhumane. Elon Musk who has never been elected committing all of these firings. Wanting to take Greenland and the Panama Canal. Lying to public—saying he would bring down price immediately and lower taxes—and then not doing that but destroying our country.
cand...no class clown
tcp1...The feeling of despair is overwhelming and exhausting. I don't understand how some people can allow, excuse and applaud the cruel immoral behavior. What has happened to compassion and common sense?
lenn...Chaos and aligning with Putin. Terrible for the future western world.
mrhh...Believe in cutting unnecessary cost but it should be done in an organized manner and with compassion for the people impacted.
brd_...I feel like he is being reckless and that there are smarter ways to go about the changes he is wanting to make . I am scared that he is going to start a depression because of how haphazardly he is doing things
migh...From his letting go of NOAA that directly impacts the FAA and our safety. The outrageous gaslighting he is the worst president aka dictator of our time. He’s an embarrassment to our country. 4 years can’t come soon enough.
benj...The changes being brought by this administration are reckless, expensive, and will have far-reaching negative impacts for decades to come. Worse still, these people are pushing the entire world into chaos. I mourn for the future my children face.
rosy...I’m not a fan, but this is worse than expected. Last term we at least had a good economy, but he appears to be tanking that now with his tariffs and destruction of jobs (Thanks Elon)
jdba...Too much drama, but reduction in bloat of federal government is 25 years overdue
tome...Tillerson summed up Trump I. Two words
jjmp...He’s the worst president….EVER!
beco...The constant lies are eroding confidence in government
char...It’s only 6 weeks. Wait for 6 months for a real opinion.
joe....He is dismantling democracy in favor of establishing himself as an oligarch and supreme ruller.
moue...Still telling too many lies
mswi...The certainty of widespread economic destruction keeps me awake at night.
grov...Trump is a bully and narcissist. He is not fit to serve as the president. His policies are ruining our economy and our relationship with the world.
smsf...He’s keeping his Promises in spite of the left
conn...I did not assume I would like him any more this time around, or that I would like how he gets things done. That said I am very impressed with the amount of things getting done that are good for the country as a whole. I wish people would stop feeling all or nothing about the administration and look for some of the positive changes we are going to get out of it.
cynd...I didn't vote for the clown and I am scared for the U.S.
mega...Zero integrity, no morals. He doesn’t care about anyone other than himself and rich friends
dsde...He’s doing what he said he would do. He is pro America.
teri...He cares only about himself not the American people. Nor does he uphold the Constitution.
sher...Anyone who feels positive about this clown show is a kool-aid drinking cultist.
john...He is not king. He has violated many laws and the constitution, and cares about billionaires only. He is too lazy to do his own work, but Elon had paid for the opportunity. .....
bret...What an historic shitshow. Worst administration in history.
chri...I'm open to shaking things up in Washington, but firing thousands of people based on their reply to an email is stupid. Shutting down our international soft power programs because you don't like a couple programs is cruel AND stupid. I don't like Trump, but I think America's values and money should be more respected around the world, so I like Trump throwing his weight around. But will his assinine actions backfire? We'll see.
brad...Overall I'm positive, but anything with Trump is going to carry unattractive baggage. We just need to wait and see how things go. He's swinging big on a bunch of fronts.
dpma...Trump is a grifter, an idiot, a fraud and a goofball. He lies constantly; he is immoral and amoral; he does not understand economics, the government, nor the Constitution and democracy. Trump is anti-everything and anti-everybody, anti-government, anti-decency, anti-democratic. Trumps hates everyone and anything that does not support or promote him personally. His international policy has and will damage US interests, influence and respect for decades to come. We, the United States, have slid on the world stage dramatically in the past two months. That will continue until we the people get rid of this fool and his subservient followers. I still admire the statement by Trump’s former Secty of Sate, Rex Tillerson, who described Trump as a “fucking moron.” That pretty well sums it up. Folks: remember 1930’s Germany . . . history is about to repeat itself in the form of a dramatic and profound shift in the US to an authoritarian, racist, nationalist and facist regime. WAKE UP AMERICA !!
pres...President Trump is one of the most despicable people I have ever known. He is a tyrant, bully, and hatemonger. He is also unintelligent, and his remarks sound like they come from someone with limited education. I want to live in a country that lifts all of its citizens up and not try to elevate a select few - white men. That is ridiculous.
jdws...What an idiot out convicted clown is
penn...Tariffs will cause industrial supply chain chaos and a sharp increase in inflation. The DOGE ‘s behavior is illegal & disgraceful. That and ICE ‘s actions are reminiscent of the Brown Shirts in 1937-39 Nazi Germany. Our Foreign relations eg Ukraine make me ashamed to be an American. Trump is a liar and a cheat. A convicted felon! How did we elect him?
epcr...Terrible leader. We may leave America
mary...Trump is full of hate. A loathsome creature. A Cruel, crass, deceitful, disgusting embarrassment to our country at home and abroad
brad...Trump is a joke that has no idea how to lead a McDonald's let alone a country
edia...The worst trump-musk administration in history. 🤮
mark...Lies, Lies, all the time lies, selling the soul of the US to Russia
twin...He is spreading misinformation, Alienating our NEIGHBORS, too close to putin (a real danger) and ruining our economy! Need I say more, because i can!!
deni...Trump is transparent with the American people. We can hear about what he is doing day by day.
msau...He wants to be a dictator and admires then. His actions against Zelensky were horrific- his actions in just 6 weeks have left the economy in shambles. His VP is digesting as well as all his choices for key positions,
arth...45 day into the term and radical shakeups in the government structure, is much too soon to form a negative opinion.
fpb4...We have a president again in title and actions!
mike...ORANGE HITLER!
trav...Too much drama and lies
mary...Trump is a highly dysfunctional and delusional individual who says what he wants to get his way. Where his statistics comes from is a false source that only provides what he wants to say. He keeps the chaos at high speed to avoid any rebuttal or input from stable human beings.
skli...Ready for big change, & can only be accomplished by someone like Trump!
sybi...He is spouting off mob boss-style, ticking off other leaders and is going to get us all in a war.
pman...He is working for Putin- and they will throw him away when they get what they want . Everyone is just sitting by while he allows and changes aspects of the military,intelligence,economy for putin
patc...This Republican Administration unabashedly lies to the public at every speaking opportunity.
chiu...Awesome! And it has only just begun!!
zack...Imagine if Democrats actually wanted to work with this administration for their constituents. The sky would be the limit. But instead they just continue to show why they lost this past election so badly. Glad to see more and more waking up to this coordinated propaganda too. In a year only willful fools with be left in that dumpster fire of a party.
benn...Hated Biden for the woke bumbling fool that he became. Hate Trump for threatening our security and national parks. Another rich crybaby pillaging the US through public office. We need better candidates.
kimp...Tariffs won’t work. The cost cutting measures are not being done systematically.
neal...Trump is destroying our country.
andr...He is not solving any problems for the lower and middle classes
jerr...Lies and more lies from Trump
dani...Trump’s withdrawal of foreign aid and military aid worries me. I disagree with the attack on DE&I. Overall, I have little trust in the current administration.
lfin...His hate for LGBTQ, and all other minorities is disgusting. He spews hate. He is a modern day Hitler. The way Musk salutes Trump is a slap in the face to all Jews.
bfph...You must have a lot more Democrats subscribed lol
robe...What a disaster, this is how democracy starts falling apart
gibl...Said what he’d do. Has done what he said. By definition, your audience is left leaning. Keep stating the facts.
sydr...He has been a puppet of Putin since 1987 and is overseeing the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the extremely rich in the history of the country.
pmge...He and his administration are Putin Traitors.
swan...What can possibly be good about cutting funds to NIH or completely eliminating USAID, for starters? What is good about aligning with Putin on Ukraine and discounting the concerns of NATO? I could go on and on but I won't.
mcpo...Guy is a joke who is singularly focused on lining his and his rich friends pockets and creating a depression, and a civil war. Divisive narcissistic old man
lila...He has broken the law since his 1st day in office
2mik...He's a complete embarrassment and a totally incompetent idiot.
twbo...He’s an idiot.
mout...He is a dangerous fascist who has the support of the majority in Congress, unfortunately. He is power angry and delusional. May the economy collapses in major ways so that the American people wake up and reverse the majority in Congress at the mid-term elections.
tdol...he's a tyrant
cnp5...He is an uneducated fool. He is a traitor. His is playing with fire. He staged the ear shot thing. He planned the Ukraine news conference to implode. He is not worthy of the office and should be removed and tried for treason.
vanh...Anyone with eyes should be able to see this is a shit show
jmbe...Every day is a nightmare, just waiting to see what new fiasco he's going to create.
kari...He is doing what needs to be done!
set8...Nice to have a President and Administration working everyday. Also, working for the American people.
bing...Tariffs- bad will increase domestic prices and are a betrayal of our allies. Agencies that are essential to our citizens are being gutted without our consideration to their necessary functions Jan., 6 traitors were pardoned The President is betraying us to Russia Taxpayer money wasted on golf trips Anderson.... Much, much more
laur...He's getting stuff done unlike the last admin!!
kmal...I'm going to wait and see how things look in late April . There are way to many people sounding off from both sides . Lets see what it looks like in 50-60 days . Perhaps there will be some hard data to support what is being reported.
hjay...Bullshit poll. Subscription cancelled!

jac4...He is draining the DC swamp!
gabe...Very happy Elon and team are instituting zero-based budgets dissecting every expense
ccla...He is getting shot done.
davi...It is clear that the demographic of those who respond to these survey questions is much more left leaning than I am and than the American people are. How any reasonable person could have a negative opinion of Trump's first six weeks is unfathomable, unless he/she suffers from Trump Derangement Syndrome. Despite that, I find the news articles published here to be somewhat objective, so I will continue to subscribe.
evan...We are now living in a dictatorship. SO SAD AND HORRIBLE!
dgre...Worst behavior on international stage award goes to Trump
shei...He’s mentally challenged
susa...Lies. Exaggeration, lack of empathy and loss of goodwill in the world.
krfa...You don’t burn down a house to rehab it. Why tear apart our government/country? It is completely unnecessary alienating our allies, disrupt parts of our government and economy and open our country to foreign threats.
amy....He’s a moron and a narcissist! Elon Musk is taking credit for cost saves that he had nothing to do with and has business leading cabinet meetings!!
mark...He's shaking things up.
mamo...- Repeatedly violating our constitution and laws - Assaulting our constitutional republic - Echoing Russian propaganda - Betraying friends and alliances - Embolding fascism and other autocratic aspirations - Threatening sovereign nations - Manipulating access to the press - Destroying U.S. economy - Gaslighting - Spewing lies - Self-aggrandizing, crass, rude - Appointing incompetent sycophants throughout government to erode democracy's guardrails
cb10...It's all about chaos and lies.
munr...Scared for our democracy.
mcgi... unemployment and inflation here we come
amy....Doing something is better than doing nothing which is what the last administration did for 4 years
john...Only cares about himself and his billionaire friends.
sbai...Only big decision makes big changes. The world needs some changes
cica...Donald Trump is one sick puppy. There is something seriously wrong with this man. He belongs either in an institution or in jail. The sycophancy gathered around him are no better.
srco...I feel he is gaining traction in dismantling our social democratic foundation. Oligarchical authoritarianism is here.
meli...He clearly is unwell. He claimed free speech then kicked out a senator for free speech.
