Trump's Approval Rating Plummets Amid Immigration Controversies

President Donald Trump is facing historically low approval ratings at the 100-day mark of his second term, with recent polls from major outlets showing his support below 40%, the lowest for any president at this stage in 80 years. The drop in approval is largely attributed to widespread dissatisfaction with his handling of immigration and the economy, with a majority of Americans disapproving of his policies on these issues. Trump's recent tactics, such as displaying posters of undocumented immigrants arrested for crimes on the White House lawn, have been seen as attempts to bolster his image on immigration amid mounting criticism. His administration's push for 'self-deportation' policies and increased legal pressure on migrants have drawn condemnation from civil rights groups, who argue these measures amount to forced exile rather than genuine reform. Internally, these issues have fueled divisions within the Republican Party, as some members acknowledge the negative impact of his policies while others defend his record. The combination of legislative gridlock, controversial trade and immigration strategies, and eroding public support has left Trump politically vulnerable and facing significant challenges in advancing his agenda.
