President Trump's approval rating is at 42 percent, low for a president in his second term, and voters believe he has 'gone too far' in his first three months in office, according to a poll from The New York Times and Siena College. The poll also showed that voters see Trump's second term as 'scary' and 'chaotic' rather than 'exciting.' Additionally, the poll found that a majority of Americans disapprove of Trump's approach in seven policy areas, including immigration and trade. Furthermore, Trump's approval rating on the economy is only 43 percent, and voters don't believe he understands their problems. Lastly, the poll revealed that Elon Musk's approval rating is even lower than Trump's, with only 35 percent of voters viewing him favorably.
