SUMMARY: President Trump’s approval rating has dropped as he marks his first 100 days in office, with new polls showing only 45% of Americans approve of his performance. Immigration remains a key issue, with his crackdown on deportations facing backlash, especially the removal of a mother and her U.S. citizen children. Trump’s handling of the economy, particularly inflation and tariffs, also faces criticism, with only 40% and 39% approval ratings, respectively. Despite this, Trump defends his economic policies and tariffs, while continuing discussions on tax and spending cuts with lawmakers on Capitol Hill.

This comes as the issue of immigration is heating up.
