Study released a day before State of the Union address shows president has lost support among Republicans<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n



Most US adults think Donald Trump is moving the country in the wrong direction during his second presidency, according to a new\u00a0NPR\/PBS News\/Marist poll<\/a>\u00a0released the day before his State of the Union speech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fifty-five percent of adults feel that Trump<\/a> is changing the country for the worse, a 13-point increase from around the same time of his first presidency, the survey conducted from 27 to 30 January found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of people who held that view also increased four points from April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unsurprisingly, support for the president splits down party lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ninety percent of Democrats think the country is worse off than a year ago; 82% of Republicans feel things have improved.

Faith in the democratic system of government also decreased during the first year of Trump\u2019s second term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In March 2025, 43% of US adults said they agreed that \u201cthe system of checks and balances dividing power between the president, Congress and the courts is working well\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Only 32% said they felt that way in the new survey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Pew Research Center survey<\/a> conducted in January also found that Trump\u2019s second term actions were not popular. Only 27% of US adults said they supported all or most of his policies and plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He has lost some support even among Republicans. In February 2025, 75% of people who are Republican or lean in that direction said they thought he had the mental fitness needed to do the job. In January, the number had decreased to 66%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of Republicans who think Trump acts ethically in office also decreased from 55% to 42% over the same period.
