A year into his second term, President Trump's approval ratings remain steady, with a solid majority of Republicans expressing confidence in his leadership. However, Americans overall are more divided, with many feeling that the president hasn't done enough to address their economic concerns.
The economy and inflation are top issues for many Americans, with prices being the most important factor in judging the overall state of the economy. Despite efforts to boost growth and create jobs, wages haven't kept pace with rising costs, leaving many feeling like they're not getting ahead.
A recent CBS News/YouGov poll found that while Trump and Republicans' approaches to the economy and immigration are still popular among some, they've lost ground on inflation concerns. The president's approval ratings have remained steady over time, but those who disapprove of his handling of the economy are more likely to be younger or independents.
Trump's administration has faced criticism for its focus on overseas events, with many Americans feeling that domestic issues like prices and jobs aren't getting enough attention. Despite this, the president remains popular among some, particularly Republicans who see him as a champion of conservative values.
In contrast, Democrats' approaches to these issues are seen as more divisive, with fewer Americans expressing confidence in their ability to effectively oppose Trump. The gap between Trump's approval ratings and those of his opponents has grown over time, suggesting that the president remains a dominant force in American politics.
Overall, while Trump's approval ratings remain steady, the economic concerns that were expected to benefit from his policies have proven harder to address than anticipated. As the country heads into another election year, these issues are likely to continue to shape public opinion and inform voters' decisions at the polls.

so i think its weird how trump's approval ratings are steady despite all the economic problems people are dealing with... idk if thats a good thing or not? it feels like americans are kinda being kept in the dark about whats really going on, you know? theres this huge divide between republicans who love trumps and independents/young voters who hate him... its like america's all over the place on this stuff. 
. I mean, Trump's still got a solid base of Republicans who love him, but the rest of the country is like "meh" - they're just trying to get by without breaking the bank 
. And don't even get me started on inflation - it's like, we knew this was gonna be a thing when he took office 
Anyway, I guess the fact that Trump's approval ratings are steady is a good sign for him, but it's also clear that he's not getting a free pass on all this. The economy is a big deal for most people, and if he can't get it under control, he's gonna be in trouble 
.
. democrats dont seem 2 be doin much better either...idk, maybe thats just how it is with politics these days 
It's hard to blame people for being skeptical of his ability to fix this stuff.
. It just goes to show how much some people are willing to overlook if it means getting what they want from their party. And let's be real, Trump isn't exactly known for being diplomatic 
.
.
. Meanwhile, Democrats are tryin' to figure out how to take down the kingpin but they're stuck in their own divisions 
. It's gonna be an interesting election year...
"Oh no, prices are up! *Tweet*" Meanwhile, wages are struggling and people are just trying to make ends meet. It's like they're playing a game of "Economic Whack-a-Mole" 
... I mean, that's just code for "I'm still in charge and you can't do anything about it 
". It's like, come on Trump, make up your mind already! 
like what even is that supposed to mean? can't we all just agree to disagree or something? 
. But on the other hand, it seems like most Americans are just worried about how much money they're making (or not) 
.
... it's like they're not really saying anything new or helpful about how to fix things 
.
.
.
. And the fact that his approval ratings are steady while those who don't like him are getting younger... that's some weird math 
. I mean, I know he's got a strong base of supporters, but come on, 60% isn't exactly a landslide victory 
. What about the people who are struggling to make ends meet? Don't they count for anything? 
. But for us independents and those who arent so into conservatism... we just wanna see some real change 
. It feels like no matter who's in office, econ struggles r always gonna be there 
. Older folks might still trust Trump more, but younger ppl and indies are more skeptical
