Most say Trump serious about Canada, Greenland, third term
Most Americans say they think President Trump is serious about the United States merging with Canada, taking over Greenland and running for a third term, according to a new survey released Tuesday. The Washington Post-ABC News Ipsos national poll found that 62 percent of Americans said the president is serious about serving a third term in the White House, despite it being at odds with the 22nd Amendment. Almost all Democrats and around six-in-10 independents think Trump is serious about another presidential run. Less than 40 percent of Republicans think the president is serious, the poll found. Trump said in an interview with The Atlantic, which was released on Monday, that a run for a third term 'would be a big shattering.' 'Well, maybe I'm just trying to shatter.' the president told the magazine. 'It's not something that I'm looking to do. And I think it would be a very hard thing to do.' The majority of Americans, 68 percent, said that Trump is serious about the U.S. taking control of Greenland, the world's largest island and a semiautonomous territory of Denmark. Around 81 percent of Democrats and 65 percent of independents say the president is serious, compared to 58 percent of GOP respondents. Greenland Prime Minister Jens-Frederik Nielsen said recently that the island 'will never, ever be a piece of property that can be bought by just anyone.' Just over half of respondents, 53 percent, take Trump's rhetoric around the U.S. taking control of Canada seriously. There are vast disparities between party lines. A large majority of Democrats, 75 percent, think that the president is serious about the U.S.'s potential takeover of Canada. But just 49 percent of independents and 35 percent of Republicans take Trump's threat seriously. The survey was conducted from April 18-22 among 2,464 U.S. adults. The margin of error was two percentage points.

Karl Rove Has Harsh Assessment Of Trump's Approval Ratings: ‘Very Bad Shape'
Karl Rove, who served as a senior adviser to former President George W. Bush, said that President Donald Trump is in 'bad shape' when it comes to the economy. 'When it gets to the economy, he is in very bad shape,' Rove said Saturday on Fox News. 'And it's not only that in the short term, he's in bad shape, there's also evidence in the poll that even if he gets his way on certain things, like tariffs, that he's not good in the long run.' Wednesday will mark Trump's first 100 days in his second term and according to a poll from Washington Post-ABC News Ipsos, his approval rating is 39%, reportedly the lowest for a president in his first 100 days since Franklin D. Roosevelt's third term. Americans gave Trump about a 38% approval rating on the economy, and Rove said there is 'deep-seated skepticism among ordinary Americans' regarding the economy. According to a Fox News poll, Americans rated Trump the lowest when it came to inflation (33% approval), tariffs (33% approval), foreign policy (40% approval), taxes (38% approval) and guns (41% approval). Rove said Trump is 'off to a good start' only on border security. The Washington Post-ABC News Ipsos poll scores Trump at 46% approval on immigration, while the Fox News poll scores him at 55% on border security. Rove added he believes Americans voted for Trump and his economic plans because of 'hope' — and not 'based upon an explicit understanding of what he was going to do.' 'They just hoped that he would do better on inflation and jobs and economic growth,' Rove said on Fox News. Instead, the Trump administration has shown an inability to explain what they are doing and why, which Rove said has 'hurt them very much.'

Most say Trump, Democrats are ‘out of touch': Poll
Most Americans believe President Trump and Democrats are 'out of touch' with the concerns of most people, a new survey found. The latest Washington Post-ABC News Ipsos poll found 60 percent of respondents believe Trump is 'out of touch' with 'the concerns of most people' in the country. Sixty-nine percent say the Democratic Party is 'out of touch,' while 64 percent believe the Republican Party is 'out of touch.' The results show that Americans trust Trump more than congressional Democrats, but they don't view any group favorably. The Post noted that on Trump's rating of Trump, it's largely split by political affiliation. More than 9 in 10 Democrats disapprove of how he's handled his job back in office, while more than 8 in 10 Republicans approve. Still, 15 percent of GOP voters gave Trump a negative rating, which is more than his first term at the 100-day mark. According to the survey, Trump's overall approval rating has dropped since February. Earlier this year, 45 percent approved of his job as president and in April, just 39 percent approved. The president has received several negative poll results in recent days as he nears the traditional marker to evaluate his presidency. A survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found about 4 in 10 Americans say Trump has been a 'terrible' leader in his second term. In a poll from The New York Times/Siena College, Trump's approval rating sat at 42 percent, which is considerably lower than the rating other recent presidents received at 100 days into their administration. The survey results point to general dissatisfaction over Trump's policies, with Americans saying he has exceeded his authority and tanked the economy and U.S. global standing. The Washington Post/Ipsos survey was conducted April 18-22 among 2,454 respondents and has a margin of error of 2 percentage points. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
