Despite claiming significant achievements, former President Donald Trump's public approval is falling.
Analysts point to a clear contradiction. Trump's team highlights successes in border security and economic growth during his second term. Yet, these policy wins have not improved his popularity with the wider American public.
The reasons for this disconnect are now a central debate. Some experts suggest that ongoing legal controversies overshadow the administration's work. Others argue that a polarized electorate has fixed views that are hard to change.
This situation presents a strategic challenge. It raises questions about how political success is measured: by legislative results or by public opinion. For now, Trump’s record and his ratings tell two different stories.
