President Donald Trump’s second term has been a debacle, according to a damning new CNN poll released Friday.
A majority of Americans polled in the survey -- 58% -- characterized Trump’s first year of his second term as a “failure,” according to the poll.
Just 42% of respondents said Trump’s second term has been a success.
There were virtually no silver linings for the president in the survey.
A plurality of respondents said Trump “made things worse” on several issues he outlined in his inauguration speech, while a lion’s share of those polled said the president has “gone too far” in exercising his power in numerous areas.
More respondents than not said Trump “made things worse” on:
Restoring safety to the United States (39% to 35% who said he made progress)
Bringing law and order back to our cities (42% to 33%)
Bringing back free speech to America (41% to 27%)
Keeping our children safe, healthy and disease free (40% to 26%)
Being a peacemaker and unifier (47% to 25%) Stopping the weaponization of the Justice Department (41% to 21%)
Majorities of respondents said Trump went to far making changes to cultural institutions (62%), using the power of the presidency and the executive branch (58%), cutting federal government programs (57%) and changing the way the United States government works (51%.)
An overwhelming majority -- 64% -- said Trump hasn’t gone far enough trying to reduce the price of everyday goods, while 10% said he has gone too far and 26% said his approach has been about right.
The poll recorded Trump’s approval rating at 39%, with the president struggling to win over independents, who support him at only a 29% clip.
He has virtually no support from Democrats while 9 in 10 Republicans back Trump.

CNN = Democrat Party.
(((CNN Poll)))
Correction on published date. Should be 1/16/2026.
Like Ferris said, “You can never go too far.”
Trump hasn’t gone nearly far enough.
Send in the marines to put this communist revolution down now.
Well, it would be more of a surprise if a CNN poll had it at 58% in Trump’s favour, lol.
As any pollster will tell you....Let me know what results you want and I will ask the questions that will make it so.
Guarantees that I won’t read it...
CNN = Communist News Network.
Better known as ‘fake news”
It’s the PVDA of the commuist RAT party...
The poll convinced me—nothing to lose at this point.
All insurrectionists need to be captured and thrown in prison.
Lol.
Disastrous poll shows Trump’s White House return is a ‘failure’: Americans say he’s ‘gone too far’ (CNN poll)

Disastrous poll? Has there ever been a poll from CNN that is NOT a disaster?
I guess cnn has nothing to worry about then
😀😃😁😂😂🤣🤣🤣
This poll could be accurate but still misleading. Many Trump supporters are disappointed in the progress he has made on important issues, but nonetheless are still firmly supporting him.
Can you post some more bull sh*t skeptical articles put out by deep state? There must be several hundred more.
With that as their core, they merely need to change the weighting of the political allegiances, and they can derive the result they want.
“And B. If I’m gonna get busted, it is not going to be by a guy like that!”
Uh huuuhhh... 🙄
