New poll shows where Trump stands 10 weeks into his second tour of duty in the White House

"107 executive orders signed in 67 days, more than any in American history," the president wrote in a social media post.

Trump has been expanding the powers of the presidency, as he has upended long-standing government policy and made major cuts to the federal workforce through an avalanche of executive orders and actions. 

An average of all the most recent national polls that asked the presidential approval question indicates that Trump's approval ratings are slightly in negative territory. Trump has seen his numbers edge down slightly since the start of his second term, when an average of his polls indicated the president's approval rating in the low 50s and his disapproval in the mid-40s.

Only 40% of those questioned in the AP/NORC poll gave the president a thumbs up on the job he's doing steering the economy, with 58% saying they disapprove.

And Trump stood at 38% approval and 60% disapproval on how he's handling trade negotiations with other countries. A slew of Trump's proposed tariffs are expected to go into effect on Tuesday.

Inflation was arguably the top issue that boosted Trump to victory in last November's presidential election, and it remains critical to his political fortunes.

"If prices remain high, he's going to have trouble," warned Daron Shaw, a politics professor and chair at the University of Texas who serves as a member of the Fox News Decision Team and is the Republican partner on the Fox News poll.

But the AP/NORC does have some good news for the president. It's the latest survey to indicate an increase in the percentage of Americans who are optimistic about the direction of the country.

Thirty-eight percent of those questioned said the country's headed in the right direction, up from 28% in January at the end of Biden's term in the White House. The jump is mostly fueled by a 34% surge in Republicans saying the country's headed on the right track.

According to the poll, Trump's favorable rating is underwater at 42%-54% favorable/unfavorable.

As with his approval rating, there's a massive but expected partisan divide.

According to the poll, Musk's favorable rating stands at 36%, with 55% seeing him in an unfavorable light.
