Polls

 Newsweek -  Americans remain concerned about the state of the health care system, according to a Gallup poll released on Monday. Twenty-three percent of Americans view the system as being in a “state of crisis.”

That’s the highest percent to say that since the pollster began asking the question in 1995. Forty-seven percent also said the health care system has “major problems,” while only 26 percent said it has “minor problems.”

Meanwhile, a record low of 16 percent said they are satisfied with the general cost of health care in the United States. However, when asked about their satisfaction with their personal health care costs, 57 percent said they are satisfied.

6 polls show Donald Trump in deep economic trouble

NBC News - President Donald Trump’s approval rating remains steadily underwater among adults as he nears the end of his first year back in the White House, and he has lost some ground among his “Make America Great Again” base, according to a new NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.

Trump’s approval has inched down in 2025 amid concern about the economy, while Americans remain worried about inflation and costs after Trump’s campaign promises to ease those anxieties. Respondents’ concerns were apparent in everyday spending decisions like grocery shopping, holiday spending and more, the poll shows.

Other high-profile Trump decisions, including his handling of the controversy over the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files, have scored negatively with Americans. Trump initially opposed a congressional move to force the release of the files before relenting to pressure from both parties last month....

American adults largely disapprove of Trump’s job performance, with his approval rating at 42% and disapproval at 58% in the new poll. That’s a slight approval rating drop of 3 points (from 45%) over the course of four polls since April, the first time the survey was conducted. The new poll surveyed 20,252 adults online, including people registered to vote and not registered to vote, from Nov. 20 to Dec. 8, with a margin of error of plus or minus 1.9 percentage points.
