Summary
In his first four weeks back in office, Trump has aggressively pushed executive orders, spending freezes, and mass firings, drawing both outrage and support.
To low-information voters, this flurry of orders appears like decisive action, boosting his approval ratings despite legal challenges.
His cuts to DEI programs and USAID funding resonate with those frustrated by government spending. However, opposition to Elon Musk’s role in the administration is growing.
Democrats are urged to shift their messaging from abstract policy fights to personal impacts on local communities.
I’m getting paywalled by your link, but on the aggregate, RCP seems to show his approval rating is still fairly high.
They currently have him at 48.8% approval. 46.1% disapproval.

Interesting. No paywall here.
The point is that compared to any previous presidents (besides himself) he has a dropping approval rate.
Yeah but I think there is something to be said for him not being like other presidents. As much as I dislike a lot of former presidents I don’t think democracy was at stake. I think him being openly fascist kind of changes the game a bit so I don’t know how good of comparisons those are. Which is super not comforting if true
