CNN reveals how people really feel about Trump's response to LA riots
CNN 's top data analyst revealed how Americans really feel about President Donald Trump 's approach to immigration after the president sent federal troops to Los Angeles in the face of violent riots. 'This is Trump's net approval rating on immigration,' Harry Enten said on air Monday while comparing his -21 approval rating in June 2017 to his current +1 rating on the issue. 'It's gone up like a rocket now versus eight years ago during Trump's first term,' he explained. 'There is no issue on which Trump is doing so much better than he was in his first term more than the issue of immigration. ' The comments came after riots and looting gripped Los Angeles over the weekend, triggered by immigration raids that resulted in dozens of arrests of what authorities said were illegal migrants and gang members. Around 300 National Guard troops were deployed to the city, spurring anger and fear among many residents. Enten said that 'Donald Trump is eager to take on this fight,' citing two CBS surveys showing that LA locals are largely fed up with how their city and state has handled immigration. 'Trump is above 50 percent and his actions are above 50 percent,' the data chief said. 'The American electorate believe that the Democrats don't have a clue on the issue of immigration,' he added, mentioning California Gov. Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass . A poll from CBS News conducted from June 4 to June 6 found that 54 percent of Americans approve of Trump's plans to deport all of those in the country illegally, Enten continued. Another 51 percent said they supported agents searching their respective towns for suspected illegal aliens. Enten also produced three polls that all showed a clear preference for Republicans when it comes to trusting a party to handle immigration. 'No matter what poll you look at, no matter which way you cut it, the American public is with the Republicans, the American public is with Donald Trump,' he said. Trump said the National Guard was necessary because Gov. Newsom and other Democrats have failed to quell recent protests targeting immigration agents. House Speaker Mike Johnson, a staunch Trump ally, endorsed the president's move, doubling down Trump's recent criticisms of California democrats and their cooperation with his orders. Former Vice President Kamala Harris, who lives in Los Angeles, said the immigration arrests and Guard deployment were designed as part of a 'cruel, calculated agenda to spread panic and division.' As of writing, some 60 arrests have been made.

Jeffries says Americans ‘aren't interested in bending the knee to a wannabe king'
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Sunday that Americans 'aren't interested in bending the knee to a wannabe king,' referring to President Trump. 'Donald Trump has learned an important lesson, the American people aren't interested in bending the knee to a wannabe king,' Jeffries said on CNN's 'State of the Union' to the outlet's Dana Bash. 'It's the reason why Donald Trump actually is the most unpopular president at this point of a presidency in American history,' he added. The president's approval rating currently sits at 45.9 percent in the Decision Desk/The Hill polling average, with 51.7 percent in the average not backing the president. The president recently went through consistent drops in his approval ratings, but his approval rating in the Decision Desk/The Hill average now sits above 2 points higher than it was at the start of May. Trump and his administration have taken swift action on issues such as how the federal government functions, immigration, trade policy, and LGBTQ rights in his first few months since returning to Washington. The action has drawn pushback from those on the American left and Democrats, but Democrats have also been criticized for a perceived lack of response to Trump administration moves. 'Democrats, of course, are the party that is determined to make life more affordable for everyday Americans, for hardworking American taxpayers,' Jeffries said Sunday. Republican strategist Karl Rove said in a recent opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal that President Trump's tariff rhetoric could cost the GOP its majorities in Congress. 'Republicans should hope the president really believes in reciprocity—the policy that if countries lower their tariffs, we'll lower ours. He should have confidence that America can compete if the playing field is level,' he added. The Hill has reached out to the White House for comment. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

April 23-30: A Harvard Kennedy School survey of young adults found 61% disapprove of Trump and 31% approve, while 42% think Trump will hurt their personal finances and 20% believe he'll help, 9% said he'll have no impact and 26% said they don't know (the poll of 2,096 18- to 29-year-olds taken March 14-25 has a margin of error of 3.2).

The share of registered voters who say they identify with Trump's Make America Great Again movement has increased sharply during Trump's second term, according to NBC polling. A total of 36% of 1,000 registered voters polled March 7-11 said they consider themselves part of the MAGA coalition, compared to a 23% average in NBC's March polling and 27% in the network's 2024 polls (the most recent poll has a 3.1-point margin of error). 44%. That's Trump's average approval rating so far during his second term, higher than his 41% average approval rating throughout the duration of his first term, according to Gallup. 54%, according to Gallup's May 3-18 average. Trump announced on May 12 he'd slash the 145% tariffs on China down to 30%, for at least 90 days, marking his latest reverse-course from the steep 'Liberation Day' tariffs he announced on April 2 against nearly all U.S. trading partners. The move sent stock markets in the U.S. and abroad into a tailspin, fueled recession fears and prompted some of Trump's allies in the business community to speak out against the policy. A 10% baseline tariff on all countries took effect April 5, and steeper rates for countries the U.S. runs a trade deficit with were imposed for less than a day in mid-April, until Trump announced a 90-day pause for all countries except China. Other big moments in Trump's presidency include the leak of U.S. military attack plans to Atlantic editor-in-chief Jeffrey Goldberg, what was widely considered to be the first major blunder of his second term. Trump's tariff war with U.S. trading partners, and his efforts to slash the federal workforce with the help of the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency, have largely consumed his first few months in office. He's hosted several world leaders for Oval Office sit downs, including most recently South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, who Trump argued with over false claims that white farmers in the country were victims of a genocide. In an explosive Oval Office meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in February, he and Vice President JD Vance berated the Ukrainian president in front of the media. Trump's use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport migrants has also led to allegations he's flouted due process and defied court orders, sparking a broader debate about the judiciary's authority over the executive branch.
