Washington, DC — A new national poll suggests President Donald Trump enters his second year back in office facing broad public dissatisfaction, with a majority of Americans viewing 2025 as a failure.
According to a CNN/SSRS survey released Friday, 58 percent of U.S. adults said Trump’s first year back in the White House was unsuccessful, while 42 percent described it as a success. Overall job approval was also underwater, with 61 percent disapproving of Trump’s performance.
Among those who disapprove, the most commonly cited concern was Trump’s personal conduct. Roughly 35 percent pointed to behavior-related issues such as putting personal interests ahead of the country, erratic conduct, bullying, and allegations of racism. Other factors included misuse of presidential power, dissatisfaction with policy priorities, foreign policy decisions, and cost-of-living pressures.
The poll also found that 58 percent of respondents believe Trump has gone “too far” in using presidential powers, compared with 34 percent who said his actions were “about right.” Only 8 percent said he has not gone far enough.
On specific policy areas, the survey showed consistent skepticism. Majorities disapproved of Trump’s handling of the economy, health care, and foreign policy, including recent actions involving Venezuela. Just 36 percent said Trump has the right priorities, a nine-point drop since the start of his term.
Respondents ranked the economy and cost of living as the nation’s most pressing issue, followed by concerns about U.S. democracy. The poll was conducted Jan. 9–12 among 1,209 adults, with a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
