Trump’s Mandate 'Enough'

President Trump came into office claiming his modest victory was a mandate for aggressive presidential action on most anything he said on the campaign trail. With a blizzard of executive orders (213) and other presidential actions (budget shifts, domestic troop movements), Trump has flooded the news cycle and overwhelmed much of the opposition. Finally, the public is saying enough.

The polling data shows Trump’s November collapse, which began in later October (negative 8 points Real Clear Politics), became a rout by Thanksgiving (down 13 points). Polling site Fifty Plus One has Trump down 17 points. The Decision Desk HQ has him down 14 points (Reported in Hill).

Trump won the November 2024 election with 1.5 percent over Kamala Harris (49.8% vs 48.3%). The following chart shows his approval and disapproval polling on November 4, 2025, election day, where he was down 11 points, and on November 27 as he faded into negative territory by 13 and 17 points (depending on the average). His approval has declined 8 to 10 points since his 2024 election. Voters have had enough of the mandate.

November 4 provided hard evidence to accompany his negative polling, confirming the public’s sour mood on the economy and especially inflation.
