Poll shows widespread disapproval for Trump's legislative achievement, with concerns over budget cuts and deficit increase.
A recent CNN poll conducted by SSRS reveals that approximately 6 in 10 Americans oppose the Republican domestic policy bill recently signed into law by President
Donald Trump.
The opposition to this sweeping legislative achievement is notable, especially considering the initial strong support it received.
According to the poll, 61% of Americans express their disapproval of the spending bill, with a majority believing that it will negatively impact the economy and leave families worse off financially.
The public's sentiment towards Trump's handling of the federal budget has also seen a decline.
His approval rating for managing the budget dropped by 11 points since March, currently standing at 37%.
There is a rising consensus that he has gone too far in cutting government programs, with 58% of Americans agreeing with this assessment.
The bill's proposals on tax law changes and increased defense spending have garnered some support; however, the concerns over its impact on the deficit and the social safety net programs remain significant issues for opponents.
The opposition to the bill is predominantly driven by Democrats and Democratic-leaners, with 93% of this group expressing their disapproval.
While there is substantial Republican support for the bill's provisions, particularly concerning taxes and immigration enforcement spending, a notable proportion remains unconvinced about its overall benefits.
There are also concerns among Republicans regarding the potential negative economic impact and increased federal deficit.
In addition to the opposition to the domestic policy bill, the poll highlights ongoing dissatisfaction with President Trump's handling of key issues.
A majority believes that he has not paid sufficient attention to the country's most pressing matters.
Furthermore, there is a growing concern among Democrats regarding government spending, separation of powers, and rule of law.
The issue of the federal government's response to the Jeffrey Epstein case did not emerge as a significant concern for respondents in this poll.
