As Donald Trump approaches his 100th day in office, new polls reveal a stark reality: only 40% of Americans approve of his leadership, while 57% disapprove – the lowest start for any modern U.S. president. 📉
Even his signature campaign promises – turbocharging the economy and tightening immigration – are losing public confidence, according to CGTN analysis. Experts suggest this "enthusiasm gap" stems from delayed policy wins and growing political polarization. 🔍
"What we're seeing isn't just political friction," says Beltway analyst Jamie Chen. "It's a cultural mismatch between campaign-trail rhetoric and governance reality." The numbers come as lawmakers prepare to debate Trump’s proposed $1 trillion infrastructure plan – now caught in congressional crossfire. 💼
While White House staffers spin this as "teething pains," younger Americans (18-35) show particular skepticism, with 68% calling Trump’s team "out of touch" with climate and equity concerns in new Gen-Z Focus polls. 📱
