Newly released approval ratings offer a revealing look at how Americans feel about Trump’s second term.

Controversies have also shaped perceptions. During and after his first term, Trump faced two impeachments by the U.S. House of Representatives—first in 2019 related to Ukraine, and second in 2021 following the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In both cases, he was acquitted by the Senate.

Legal proceedings in subsequent years have involved additional investigations and indictments.

These events have influenced how different segments of the public assess his leadership, though opinions often align with existing partisan commitments.

Immigration enforcement has remained one of the most visible and debated policy areas associated with Trump.

Proposals for expanded border barriers, increased interior enforcement, and revisions to asylum processes have generated sustained legal and political debate.
