IN PROGRESS
Unchanged — President Trump first 100 days came to an end April 30, 2025. The top three issues, an update:
- the Ukraine - Russian war; it appears, at least 50% of Americans favor Putin taking what he wants, if that's what it takes to end the war; the war now moving toward a truce;
- tariffs and ongoing trade war: it appears, at least 50% of Americans want tariffs on China reduced so American products from China can come down in price; trade war takes a breather; UK-US first to announce a new agreement;
- southern surge: appellate judges and at least 50% of Americans feel arresting / deporting terrorists whose home country is Venezuela, Colombia, Iran, or Russia, is not giving them due process and it's just not "American." Appellate judges and at least 50% of Americans, it seems, favor the concept of sanctuary cities. One judge finally rules in favor of Trump.
