A new PBS News / NPR/Marist poll finds that a plurality of Americans give President Donald Trump a failing grade.

About half of U.S. adults say Trump ’s second term has had a mostly negative effect on their lives.

A majority believe he is rushing to make changes without considering the effects of his actions.

Trump ’s tariffs and trade policies have jump-started a new level of concern and anxiety among Americans , especially among independents and moderates of both major political parties.

Trump is performing slightly better overall with voters on immigration, and continues to have strong support from Republicans on his handling of the issue.
