Trump Approval Slips Nationwide Amid Immigration Criticism

President Donald Trump's approval ratings are declining, particularly on immigration, a key issue for his administration. Polls reveal that only about one-quarter of U.S. adults feel his policies have helped them, with about half saying his policies have hurt them, and many Republicans also reporting no positive effects. His immigration approval rating has hit record lows, with a Quinnipiac University poll showing 41% approval and 57% disapproval, and Latino voter approval dropping significantly amid widespread opposition to his aggressive deportation policies. These policies have sparked mass protests, especially in cities like Los Angeles, where curfews were imposed due to unrest. Despite these declines, Trump's overall approval rating remains relatively steady around a net -6.7 percent, though his handling of the economy, trade, and inflation has also contributed to voter dissatisfaction. Additionally, criticism over the administration's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case has further eroded support among some of his base.
