根据一项调查，三分之二的美国人说这个国家“非常严重地偏离了错误的轨道”，而不到三分之一的人说这个国家正朝着正确的方向前进ABC新闻/华盛顿邮报/益普索民意调查使用益普索的知识面板进行。
总体而言，美国人似乎不开心，也很焦虑，微弱多数的人说，自唐纳德·特朗普总统上任以来，经济变得更糟了，大多数人说，主要政党和总统都脱离了现实。大多数美国人也在增长越来越担心政府关门。
相比共和党人(29%)，更多的民主党人(95%)和无党派人士(77%)表示美国“严重偏离了错误的轨道”，此外，黑人(87%)、西班牙裔(71%)和亚裔(71%)的比例也高于白人(61%)。城市、郊区和农村地区的大多数美国人，以及教育和收入水平不同的人，都认为国家正朝着错误的方向前进。
尽管67%的人认为国家正朝着错误的方向前进，但这一比例比去年同期有所下降2024年11月，75%的人在总统选举前说了同样的话。
约有十分之六的美国人将当前的通胀率归咎于特朗普，而超过十分之六的人不赞成特朗普处理关税、经济和管理联邦政府的方式;大多数人也不赞成他处理其他几个问题的方式。
64%的美国人表示，特朗普在试图扩大总统权力方面“走得太远”。
与此同时，更多的美国人表示，民主党“与当今美国大多数人的关切脱节”(68%)，而不是特朗普(63%)和共和党(61%)。
近一半的美国人(48%)表示，在特朗普的领导下，美国在世界上的领导地位变弱了，而三分之一的人(33%)表示美国的领导地位变强了，大约十分之二的人表示美国的领导地位不变(18%)——这些数字在他的第二个任期内没有明显变化。
虽然距离中期选举还有一年时间，但美国人对国家状况、经济和总统的负面评级对总统所在的政党在国会选举投票中不是好兆头。
经济
52%的微弱多数美国人表示，自特朗普成为总统以来，经济变得更糟，而27%的人表示经济有所改善，20%的人表示经济保持不变。认为经济“糟糕得多”的人比认为经济“好得多”的人多，比例接近3:1，分别为26%和9%。
尽管认为经济总体好转的比例比4月份增加了6个百分点，但认为经济恶化的比例几乎没有变化。认为现在(20%)和4月份(25%)一样的人更少了。
家庭收入低于5万美元的人中，近60%的人表示，自特朗普就任总统以来，经济状况更糟(57%)。
约有60%的美国人将当前的通胀率归咎于特朗普，其中约有三分之一的人表示他负有“很大”的责任，而40%的人表示他对通胀没有太大责任。
大多数民主党人(92%)和无党派人士(66%)表示，特朗普和20%的共和党人都应该为当前的通胀率负责。各收入群体的大多数人都认为特朗普应该为通胀负责。
说自己经济状况“不如特朗普当选总统时好”的美国人比例超过了说自己“更好”的比例，比例约为2比1，37%比18%。45%的人说他们的财务状况“差不多”
更多的人说他们现在比4月份做得更好，当时有10%的人说他们过得更好。
特朗普批准
特朗普的不支持率在一年中有所上升，在美国广播公司新闻/华盛顿邮报/益普索民意调查中，他在这一点和关键问题上处于下风。
总体而言，59%的美国人不赞成特朗普处理总统工作的方式，而41%的人赞成，这使他的净支持率下降了18个百分点，与他当时的情况类似四月份的民意测验(水下16分)比他第二个任期的开始还要糟糕在二月(水下8分)。
目前，特朗普的强烈不支持率超过他的强烈支持率超过2比1，46%比20%。
特朗普发布批准
大多数美国人也不赞成特朗普处理民调中衡量的每个问题的方式。超过十分之六的人不赞成特朗普处理关税、经济和管理联邦政府的方式。大约60%的人不赞同他处理俄罗斯和乌克兰局势以及与其他国家关系的方式。超过一半的人不赞同他处理移民、犯罪以及以色列和加沙局势的方式。在一个单独的问题上，他没有得到大多数美国人的认可。
特朗普的支持率在处理以色列和加沙局势方面达到顶峰:46%的人赞成，52%的人不赞成，比他9月份的支持率要好，当时在一次调查中，39%的人赞成，58%的人不赞成后益普索民意调查。值得注意的是，特朗普帮了忙谈判哈马斯和以色列之间的停火自从九月份的投票以来。
他在其他问题上的支持率要么下降，要么保持稳定。目前，他在两届总统任期内处理经济问题的支持率最低，37%的人赞成，62%的人反对。特朗普对经济的支持率在2020年3月达到顶峰，57%的人赞同他处理问题的方式，38%的人不赞同。自2025年2月以来，大多数人不赞成他对经济的处理。
特朗普在管理联邦政府方面的支持率也下降了调查显示。
自那以来，总统在移民、关税、犯罪、与其他国家的关系、俄罗斯和乌克兰以及犯罪方面的支持率几乎没有变化9月份的后益普索民意调查。
大多数美国人还表示，特朗普试图扩大总统权力(64%)，解雇政府雇员以削减联邦劳动力规模(57%)，派遣国民警卫队在美国城市巡逻(55%)以及试图改变美国高校的运作方式(54%)的做法“走得太远了”。
大约一半的人表示，他试图结束政府和私营工作场所的多样性、公平和包容计划(51%)，驱逐无证移民(50%)，关闭移民合法居留(50%)和进入(48%)美国的途径，并试图结束增加政府和私营工作场所多样性的努力(47%)。
美国人对特朗普在总统任期内取得了多少成就存在分歧，48%的人说他至少做了“很多”，51%的人说他做了“不太多”，“很少或什么都没有”。
在那些认为特朗普在过去九个月里取得了相当大或更多成就的人当中，更多的人认为他的所作所为对国家有益而不是有害——总体而言，只有大约十分之四的美国人这样认为。
期中考试
在中期选举中，现任总统的负面评价对他的政党来说不是积极的指标。
距离2026年中期选举还有一年，选民在很大程度上分为支持民主党和共和党候选人，46%的登记选民表示，如果美国众议院选举今天举行，他们将支持民主党候选人，44%的人支持共和党候选人。在更广泛的美国成年人中，42%的人表示他们将支持民主党候选人，39%的人表示他们将支持共和党。
在一个2021年11月ABC新闻/华盛顿邮报民意调查在2022年中期选举前一年，选民对共和党候选人的偏好增加了10个百分点，共和党赢得了众议院。在一个2017年11月ABC新闻/华盛顿邮报民意调查选民对民主党候选人的支持率高出11个百分点。而在2018年，民主党赢得了众议院。
犯罪
更多的美国人认为犯罪是美国大城市的一个严重问题，而不是他们居住的地方或美国整体的问题。大约十分之六的美国人认为美国大城市的犯罪“极其”(29%)或“非常”(32%)严重，而大约一半的人认为美国整体犯罪严重，不到十分之二的人认为他们居住的地区也是如此。
调查显示，认为美国犯罪“极其”严重的比例(17%)比2023年和2024年有所下降，当时约有四分之一的美国人持相同观点盖洛普民意测验.
只有8%的美国人认为他们居住的地方犯罪极其严重，自盖洛普2000年开始追踪以来，这一数字一直保持在个位数，但这一数字高于自那以后的几年。
共和党人更有可能说美国大城市的犯罪“极其严重”(42%)，而不是民主党人(17%)或无党派人士(27%)。
ICE和国民警卫队
美国人对美国移民和海关执法局在美国大城市和他们居住的地方拘留和驱逐无证移民的问题存在分歧。
大约十分之六的共和党人“强烈”支持美国、大城市和他们生活的地方的冰激增，而大约三分之二的民主党人强烈反对他们。更多的独立人士反对扩大冰驱逐比支持他们。
大约60%的美国人(57%)表示，ICE和国土安全局的特工在执勤时不应该戴口罩或面罩，而大约40%的人(41%)表示应该允许。大多数民主党人(88%)和无党派人士(64%)表示不应该允许，而大多数共和党人(77%)表示应该允许特工在执勤时遮住自己的脸。
同样比例的美国人(58%)认为，美国总统不应该不顾州长的反对命令国民警卫队进入一个州;40%的人认为美国总统应该被允许这么做。大约90%的民主党人和三分之二的无党派人士认为这是不允许的;80%的共和党人表示，即使州长反对，总统也应该能够派遣国民警卫队进入一个州。

关于俄罗斯和乌克兰，46%的人说特朗普“太支持俄罗斯”，8%的人说他“太支持乌克兰”，41%的人说他处理得差不多。
政治动机暴力
34%对28%的美国人指责共和党比民主党对美国出于政治动机的暴力行为负责，另有28%的人说他们都有责任，9%的人说两者都没有责任。
民调显示，自2022年以来，更多的美国人将政治暴力归咎于共和党，而不是民主党。
2024投票后悔?
绝大多数川普和前副总统卡玛拉·哈里斯的支持者都表示，在2024年投票给他们的候选人是“正确的事情”。
总体而言，92%的特朗普支持者说投票给他是正确的，只有7%的人说他们后悔。更大比例的哈里斯支持者表示，投票给她是正确的事情，97%对3%的人后悔投票。自4月份上次问这个问题以来，特朗普和哈里斯的这些数字没有发生有意义的变化。

Most Americans say country is on the wrong track, blame Trump for inflation: Poll
Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track," while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to anABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos pollconducted using Ipsos' KnowledgePanel.
Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growingincreasingly concerned over the government shutdown.
Far more Democrats (95%) and independents (77%) say the country is "pretty seriously off on the wrong track" than Republicans (29%), along with larger shares of Black (87%), Hispanic (71%) and Asian (71%) Americans than white Americans (61%). Majorities of Americans in urban, suburban and rural areas say the country is moving in the wrong direction, as well as those with varying levels of education and income.
Although 67% say the country is moving in the wrong direction, that is a decrease fromNovember 2024, when 75% said the same in the lead-up to the presidential election.
About 6 in 10 Americans blame Trump for the current rate of inflation while more than 6 in 10 disapprove of how Trump is handling tariffs, the economy and managing the federal government; majorities also disapprove on how he is handling several other issues.
And 64% of Americans say Trump is "going too far" in trying to expand the power of the presidency.
At the same time, even more Americans say the Democratic Party is "out of touch with the concerns of most people in the United States today" (68%) than Trump (63%) and the Republican Party (61%).
Nearly half of Americans (48%) say America’s leadership in the world has gotten weaker under Trump, while a third (33%) say it has gotten stronger and about 2 in 10 say it is the same (18%) -- numbers that have not shifted significantly during his second term.
Though it's still a year from until the midterm elections, Americans’ negative ratings on the state of the country, the economy and the president do not bode well for the president’s party in congressional election voting.
Economy
A slim 52% majority of Americans say the economy has gotten worse since Trump became president while 27% say the economy has improved and 20% say it has stayed the same. The share saying the economy is "much worse" outweighs the share saying it is "much better" by almost 3-to-1, 26% vs. 9%.
While the share saying the economy is better overall has increased from April by 6 percentage points, the share saying it is worse has barely shifted. Fewer say it is the "same" now (20%) than in April (25%).
Nearly 6 in 10 of those with household incomes under $50,000 say the economy is worse since Trump became president (57%).
About 6 in 10 Americans blame Trump for the current rate of inflation, including about a third who say he bears a "great deal" of blame, compared with 4 in 10 who say he does not bear much responsibility for inflation.
Majorities of Democrats (92%) and independents (66%) say Trump is to blame for the current rate of inflation, along with 20% of Republicans. Majorities across income groups say Trump is to blame for inflation.
The share of Americans saying they are "not as well off" financially than when Trump became president outweighs the share saying they are "better off" by about 2-to-1, 37% to 18%. A 45% plurality says their finances are "about the same."
More say they are doing better now than in April, when 10% said they were better off.
Trump approval
Trump’s disapproval rating has ticked up over the course of the year and he is underwater on that and on key issues measured in the ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.
In all, 59% of Americans disapprove of how Trump is handling his job as president while 41% approve, putting him 18 percentage points underwater for net approval, similar to where he was inan April poll(16 points underwater) and worse than the beginning of his second termin February(8 points underwater).
Currently, Trump’s strong disapproval rating outweighs his strong approval rating by more than 2-to-1, 46% to 20%.
Trump issue approval
Majorities of Americans also disapprove of how Trump is handling every issue measured in the poll. Over 6 in 10 disapprove of how Trump is handling tariffs, the economy and managing the federal government. About 6 in 10 disapprove of how he is handling the situation involving Russia and Ukraine and relations with other countries. More than half disapprove of how he is handling immigration, crime and the situation with Israel and Gaza. He does not have approval from most Americans on a single issue measured.
Trump’s approval rating peaks on handling the situation with Israel and Gaza: 46% approve and 52% disapprove -- better than his September ratings, when 39% approved and 58% disapproved in aPost-Ipsos poll.Notably, Trump helpednegotiate a ceasefire between Hamas and Israelsince that September poll.
His approval ratings on other issues have either worsened or remained stable. He currently has his worst numerical rating on handling the economy over his two terms as president, with 37% approving and 62% disapproving. Trump’s approval rating on the economy peaked in March 2020 with 57% approving of how he was handling the issue and 38% disapproving. A majority has disapproved of his handling of the economy since February 2025.
Trump’s approval rating on managing the federal governmenthas also declined, according to the poll.
The president’s ratings on immigration, tariffs, crime, relations with other countries, Russia and Ukraine and crime have barely budged sinceSeptember’s Post-Ipsos poll.
Majorities of Americans also say Trump is "going too far" trying to expand the power of the presidency (64%), laying off government employees to cutting the size of the federal workforce (57%), sending the National Guard to patrol U.S. cities (55%) and trying to make changes in how U.S. colleges and universities operate (54%).
And roughly half say he’s going too far trying to end diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the government and private workplaces (51%), deporting undocumented immigrants (50%), closing pathways for immigrants to legally remain (50%) and enter (48%) the United States and trying to end efforts to increase diversity in government and private workplaces (47%).
Americans are split over how much Trump has accomplished during his presidency, with 48% saying he has done at least "a good amount" and 51% saying he has done "not very much," "little or nothing."
Among those who say Trump has accomplished a good amount or more in the last nine months, more say that what he did was good for the country rather than bad for it -- just about 4 in 10 Americans overall.
Midterms
Negative ratings for an incumbent president are not positive indicators for his party come midterm elections.
A year out from the 2026 midterms, voters are largely split between supporting the Democratic and Republican candidates, with 46% of registered voters saying they would support the Democratic candidate if the U.S. House of Representatives election were being held today, and 44% supporting the Republican candidate. Among the broader population of U.S. adults, 42% said they would support the Democratic candidate and 39% said they would support the Republican.
In aNovember 2021 ABC News/Washington Post poll, a year before the 2022 midterms, voters had a 10-percentage-point preference for Republican candidates, and Republicans won the House. In aNovember 2017 ABC News/Washington Post poll, voters had an 11-percentage-point preference for Democratic candidates. And in 2018,Democrats won the House.
Crime
More Americans see crime as a serious problem in large U.S. cities than where they live or the U.S. overall. About 6 in 10 Americans say crime is either "extremely" (29%) or "very" (32%) serious in large U.S. cities, while about half say crime is serious in the U.S. overall and just under 2 in 10 say the same for the areas where they live.
The share saying crime in the U.S. is "extremely" serious (17%) is down from 2023 and 2024 when about a quarter of Americans said the same, according toGallup polling.
Just 8% of Americans say crime is extremely serious where they live, a figure that has remained in the single digits since Gallup began tracking it in 2000 -- but numerically higher than it has been in the years since then.
Republicans are far more likely to say crime in large U.S. cities is "extremely serious" (42%) than Democrats (17%) or independents (27%).
ICE and National Guard
Americans are split over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detaining and deporting undocumented immigrations in the U.S. overall, in large cities and where they live.
About 6 in 10 Republicans "strongly" support the ICE surge in the U.S., large cities and where they live, while about two-thirds of Democrats strongly oppose them. More independents oppose expanded ICE deportations than support them.
Roughly 6 in 10 Americans (57%) say that ICE and Homeland Security agents should not be allowed to wear masks or face coverings while on duty, while about 4 in 10 (41%) say it should be allowed. Majorities of Democrats (88%) and independents (64%) say it should not be allowed while a majority of Republicans (77%) say agents should be allowed to cover their faces while on duty.
A similar share of Americans (58%) say that a U.S. president should not be able to order the National Guard into a state over the objections of that state's governor; 40% say a U.S. president should be allowed to. About 9 in 10 Democrats and two-thirds of independents say this should not be allowed; 8 in 10 Republicans say the president should be able to send the National Guard into a state even if its governor objects.
Trump on international issues
Nearly half of Americans (47%) say Trump is spending "about the right amount of time" on international crises, while around one-third say he’s spending "too much time" (32%) and about 2 in 10 say he is spending "too little time" on international crises (19%).
Just about 4 in 10 say Trump deserves "a great deal" or "a good amount" of credit for the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas (39%) and just over 4 in 10 say he deserves "just some credit" or "none" (43%).
On Russia and Ukraine, 46% say Trump is "too supportive of Russia," 8% say he is "too supportive of Ukraine" and 41% say he is handling it about right.
Politically motivated violence
By 34% to 28%, more Americans blame the Republican Party than the Democratic Party for politically motivated violence in the U.S. with another 28% saying they are both equally to blame and 9% saying neither is to blame.
Since 2022, more Americans have blamed the Republican Party for political violence than the Democratic Party, according to the poll.
2024 vote regret?
Wide majorities of both Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris' supporters say that voting for their candidates was "the right thing to do" in 2024.
In all, 92% of Trump supporters say voting for him was the right thing to do, while only 7% say they regret it. An even larger share of Harris supporters say voting for her was the right thing to do, 97% to 3% who regret their vote. These numbers for Trump and Harris have not meaningfully shifted since this question was last asked in April.
