A recent Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll asked 2,300 Americans to share their thoughts on the best and worst actions taken by President Donald Trump since January 2025. The results show that immigration policies were a major point of contention for both supporters and opponents.
Trump’s supporters cited immigration as his best action, with around 80% mentioning it as a positive aspect of his presidency. They praised him for attempting to regain control of the border and enforcing stricter immigration laws. In contrast, Trump’s opponents saw immigration as one of his worst actions, with over 57% citing it as a negative aspect.
Economically, supporters praised Trump for pushing through massive tax and spending bills, while opponents criticized his handling of tariffs, which led to significant economic disruptions.
The poll highlights the stark divisions between Trump’s supporters and opponents, particularly when it comes to immigration. Younger Americans are more likely to disapprove of Trump on immigration and overall job performance compared to their elders.
Overall, the results provide a glimpse into how the American public views President Trump’s actions and policies, with significant implications for his upcoming State of the Union address.
