Reasons For Ratings Drop
Several reasons for the drop in approval comes from his agenda not progressing, when it comes to health care and his temperament. His temperament especially on a Global atmosphere and also the issues that relates to Russia during his campaign. The recent investigations into his son’s meeting with a Kremlin affiliated lawyer hasn’t helped. So Trump’s agenda doesn’t seem to be going anywhere and it is creating a stir.
Based on the survey ” just 38 percent of respondents say Trump is making “significant progress” toward his goals; 55 percent say he is not.” 2 out of every 3 Americans say they do not trust Trump to represent America when it comes to World leaders. That definitely includes Russian President Vladimir Putin.
27 percent believe U.S leadership has strengthened under Trump while 48 percent think it has gotten weaker. The poll took place from July 10 to July 13 during revelations of Trump Jr.’s meeting with Russian lawyer Natalia Veselnitskaya. This news didn’t help the Trump Administration which is already under much fire for how it has handled many of the Countries affairs.
While in Paris at a press conference Trump said that “most people would have taken the meeting.” The poll however showed that at least 63 percent of those who responded disagree with him. If this poll is anything to go by, it seems unless the President takes a step back and rethink his approach, this decline in approval will continue to rise.
The poll shows that the majority of Americans are becoming fed up with the type of behavior coming from the Commander in Chief. Anyone who holds such a position represents the entire Country. Therefore his behavior will be a reflection of that society and that isn’t what hurts the most. Surveys have long been used in American politics and represent the feelings of most people in the society.
