【Key Focus: Trump Has Not Fulfilled His Promises to "Lower Prices" and "Restore Immigration Order"]

On February 23, 2026, in Washington, the Associated Press released a news article stating:

Trump returned to the White House with the promise of lowering prices and restoring order in U.S. immigration. However, public opinion has turned against him on both issues.

According to the latest Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research survey, only 39% of American adults approve of his economic leadership, and only 38% support his stance on immigration issues. These low figures indicate that Americans are still concerned about the costs of groceries, housing, and utilities, a problem exacerbated by Trump's erratic use of tariffs. The survey also showed public unease over videos of violent clashes with protesters, including the killing of two American citizens by federal agents.

Since last year's passage of a major tax cut bill, Trump has not announced any significant new economic policy ideas, instead repeating his suggestions of tax cuts, lower mortgage rates, and a website for purchasing prescription drugs.
