56% Doubt Trump Administration's Government Management Skills

A new Fox News poll shows that 56% of voters doubt the Trump administration's ability to manage the federal government. Among these, 70% of independents and 90% of Democrats share this skepticism. Interestingly, even 40% of non-MAGA Republicans agree. Only 43% believe the administration is competent. These numbers reflect similar sentiments from past administrations, with Obama at 44% in 2015 and Biden at 38% last year. Republican pollster Daron Shaw notes that voters often judge presidents harshly, making it tough to win support from independents and those on the other side. Trump’s approval ratings vary widely, with just 42% satisfied overall, but a slightly better 53% approval for border security. Notably, Vice President Vance and Secretary of State Rubio face negative ratings, with Vance slightly more favored among Republicans. What's striking is that over half of voters think Trump lacks the right temperament and judgment to lead, with 60% expressing concerns about his temperament, an increase since the last election. This matters because public perception can significantly influence political outcomes and the future of governance.
