American Public Views Donald Trump Negatively in New Poll

A recent Economist/YouGov poll of U.S. adults shows a sharply divided view of former President Donald Trump. 52% describe him as “dangerous,” 49% as “corrupt,” and 45% as “racist” or “out of touch with reality.” At the same time, a sizable minority rates him positively, with 45% calling him “honest,” 40% “inspirational,” and 38% “intelligent.” The results illustrate deep political polarization in American attitudes toward Trump.

The poll reflects ongoing public skepticism about Trump’s leadership style and actions, underscoring how his figure continues to shape U.S. political discourse.
