Majority of Voters Find Trump ‘Chaotic’ and ‘Scary’

April 25, 2025 at 3:46 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“Voters believe President Trump is overreaching with his aggressive efforts to expand executive power, and they have deep doubts about some of the signature pieces of his agenda,” a New York Times/Siena College poll found.

“The turbulent early months of Mr. Trump’s administration are seen as ‘chaotic’ and ‘scary’ by majorities of voters — even many who approve of the job he is doing. Voters do not view him as understanding the problems in their daily lives and have soured on his leadership as he approaches his 100th day in office.”

Nate Cohn: “Imagine that you didn’t know anything about this president or his actions so far. You knew only that this is a president with a 42 percent job approval rating after almost 100 days.”

“If that’s all you knew, you would have to say this presidency was off to a disastrous start.”
