As President Donald Trump concludes his first month back in office, recent polls reveal a complex picture of public opinion regarding his performance. A Gallup poll indicates a slight decline in approval, from 47% in late January to 45% by mid-February 2025. This figure is notably 15 points below the historical average for presidents at this stage in their first terms since 1953. The same poll highlights that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy (54%) and foreign trade (53%).
