Although wrong satisfaction compared to recent months, satisfaction does not exceed 20 % recorded in January before Trump’s inauguration. This reading was in early 2025 consistent with the SUB-30 % levels that were seen since mid-2011, a period of high inflation and the divided government that left the partisans on both sides not satisfied. He went to the top during Trump, and is usually supported by the approval of a strong republic.

The mood of Republicans weakens more in September

Crime, national unity increases as laws from the highest mind

The Americans’ responses to the monthly question of Gallup indicate “the most important problem facing this country” that the slaughter of Kirk hesitates with Americans, especially Republicans.

It is noteworthy that crime or violence has multiplied more than weakness over the past month, as it increased from 3 % in August to 8 % in September – the highest level since August 2020, and before that, 2002. This rise comes amid a series of violent events, including Menapolis Catholic fire on August 22. The month poll took place after Kirk was killed on September 10.

Economic trust is still negative

There was no change in the confidence of Americans in the American economy during the past month, with the stability of the economic confidence index in Gallup (ECI) at 20. This reflects a relatively few Americans who classify the current economic conditions as excellent or good (28 %) while the majority continues to say that the economy is getting worse (63 %).

The opinions of the Americans on economics were somewhat negative throughout the year, with ECI registered in a narrow range between -14 (in June) and -22 (in April). These classifications extend to a negative extension of the index in its place since 2021 and contradict the Trump’s first term, when confidence was constantly positive until the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

The bottom line

The Americans’ satisfaction has fallen from the country’s direction to its lowest level since Trump returned to his post, largely driven by a decrease among Republicans. The growing public interest in crime and national unity, both of which rose this month, may contribute to the slide.

At the same time, confidence in the president and the economy has not changed, which confirms that the decrease in the national mood is a reflection of other factors.
