At the one-month mark of Donald Trump's second term as president, his approval rating in a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS tilts negative but still lands above the level he reached at any point in his first four years in office. However, a broad majority feel the president isn't doing enough to address the high prices of everyday goods. Most adults nationwide, 55%, say that Trump has not paid enough attention to the country's most important problems and 62% feel he has not gone far enough in trying to reduce the price of everyday goods. Which do you agree with?

About half of all Americans feel that Trump has overstepped in using the power of the presidency and the executive branch (52% say he has gone too far in doing so, 39% that he's been about right and 8% that he hasn't gone far enough). Broad majorities of Democrats (87%) and independents (57%) see him as going too far in using the presidency's powers. Republicans largely disagree but few of Trump's own partisans are clamoring for him to go further than he has already: 75% say his use of presidential power has been about right, 11% think he's gone too far and 13% that he hasn't gone far enough.
