Unfavorable perception of Donald Trump prevalent across significant states

Unfavorable perception of Donald Trump prevalent across significant states

Rewritten Article:

Meet Fred Schiel, a retiree from the insurance industry in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Once a loyal supporter of Donald Trump, his enthusiasm has waned since the president's return to the White House. "I voted for him, but I don't quite understand what's happening right now," Schiel confesses candidly. His concerns revolve around Trump's aggressive actions towards Canadian and Mexican trade partners, economic turmoil from tariffs, and the uncertainty they bring to his investments[2].

Trump's brash, divisive style during his second presidency has failed to convince even in states like Michigan, which played a pivotal role in his 2016 victory[3]. A survey by Civiqs among 23,600 registered voters showed that in Michigan, 50% now disapprove of Trump's performance, compared to 46% who still approve[3].

Similar trends can be seen in other crucial states, such as Arizona, Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, where disapproval ratings have surpassed approval ratings[3]. These disapproval ratings are due to various reasons, including Trump's criticisms of the judicial system, the government apparatus, traditional allies, and his disruptive economic policies[3].

Ipsos polling for the Washington Post indicated that Trump's approval rating at the 100-day mark of his presidency was the lowest since 1933[4]. Gary Ball, a resident of Burlington in North Carolina, has grown increasingly concerned about the light authoritarianism that seems to be emerging under Trump's presidency, with its focus on 'America First' at the expense of allies[4].

Sandy Regiani, a laboratory technician in Detroit, shares similar worries, particularly about the escalating trade war with Canada[4]. "Every day is more frightening than the last," Regiani sums up. The trade war has already claimed 900 jobs at Stellantis, an automotive manufacturer in the Midwest[4].

Despite Trump's reassurances about the economy, the facts tell a different story. The price of a dozen eggs, far from the 94% reduction Trump claimed, remains above $5 US, causing frustration among consumers[4]. Meanwhile, Michigan's unemployment rate has been rising, reaching 5.5% in April - the state's highest rate compared to the national average of 4.2%[4].

Not everyone is disillusioned with Trump, though. Wyoming residents have the highest approval rating of Trump's performance, with 70% approving, according to a Civiqs poll[4]. Meanwhile, Vermont, Maryland, and Hawaii have the lowest approval ratings, with 28%, 26%, and 28% approval, respectively[4].
