Trump under pressure: Falling survey values alert the electorate!
München, Deutschland - The political situation in the USA is currently anything but relaxed. US President Donald Trump is faced with dwindling survey values and growing dissatisfaction among the population. A current survey by FOX News shows its approval rate to 44 percent, which corresponds to a decline in five percentage points since March. In the areas of customs policy, economy and foreign policy in particular, there is great dissatisfaction: 59 percent of voters are dissatisfied with Trump's customs measures, 56 percent criticize his economic policy and 54 percent of his foreign policy. Despite the general dissatisfaction, 55 percent of the US citizens support their border security policy. Der West reports of this turbulent situation.
Trump itself is not exactly amused about the negative survey values and the reporting of FOX News. On his "Truth Social" platform, he expressed that Rupert Murdoch and the opinion researchers of the news agency incorrectly assess the "Maga" movement. In a tone that clearly indicates upset, Trump questions the reports of his falling popularity and indicates that in his opinion they do not reflect reality. Political scientist Klemens Fischer comments that many voters begin to question Trump's great election promises of what is reflected in the survey results. freiten has documented this criticism towards Trump.
international uncertainties and their consequences
The uncertainty caused by Trump's aggressive customs policy caused problems at a global level. This uncertainty is particularly reflected in the stock exchanges. After the announcement of dramatic tariffs, important indices such as Nasdaq lost almost a quarter of its value. Even the Dow Jones and S&P 500 did not survive without prejudice, which international markets such as the Japanese Nikkei and the German Dax could also move into the loss zone. As a result, many companies become more reserved when hiring new workers and investments, which could ultimately have a negative impact on economic growth.

The US trade balance shows a concern of arousing development: While the United States has a surplus in the area of services, there is a deficit in the trade, especially compared to China, which is almost $ 300 billion. Trump's trade war with China, initiated directly at the beginning of his term, contributes to tightening this situation. The Federal Foreign Office already warns of possible legal consequences for travelers to the USA, which also affects the entry wishes of business travelers and tourists or international trade.
The pressure on Trump grows
In view of these developments, the Pew Research Center Trump's support has reduced back to 40 percent after it was still 47 percent in February. One could say that the pressure on Trump is becoming increasingly unbearable. He is now the most unpopular US president in office since World War II! Even around the next presidential election, he may not be too worried about it, because after the current legal situation he could not compete. The state of American politics clearly shows that Trump has not yet proven a good knack in dealing with his election promises, and the uncertainties in business and international trade do not expect any positive feedback.remains to be seen how Trump will react to the growing challenges. The coming weeks and months could be decisive for his political future and whether the "Maga" movement can continue to support the walls of its presidency.
