Polls Show Rising Disapproval of Trump's Government Management

A recent AP-NORC poll shows that fewer Republicans and independents approve of President Trump's management of the federal government compared to earlier in his term, although his overall approval rating remains steady at 36%. The decline in approval among Republicans (from 81% to 68%) and independents (from 38% to 25%) reflects growing dissatisfaction, even as Democrats remain largely opposed. The poll highlights the shifting political landscape amid ongoing government shutdown debates.
