Trump’s problems in his second term were noticeable before the end of February after about 6 weeks of Shock & Awe. At the point of his State of the Union address (March 4), as the line chart below shows, Trump is about a point positive, 49 percent to 48 percent.

His start-up approval was high compared to his low start in 2017, his first term. He tended to have an impenetrable base of approval of about 40 percent and was usually in double digit negative territory.

The National Dashboard is a platform showing the state of public opinion for the President election. It tracks key indictors on the economy, direction of the county, and competition for the U.S. House of Representatives. It primarily uses RealClearPolitics (RCP) but makes comparison to Gallup and other polls.
