Trump’s 2025 Divides Voters: Successes and Regrets Emerge
NEW YORK – A year into President Trump’s second term, opinions are sharply divided on his performance, according to a New York Times survey of voters tracked over the past 18 months. While a consensus exists that 2025 has been a year of significant events and turbulence, perspectives on its overall impact vary widely.
The Times found that some voters believe President Trump has made positive strides, while others describe the year as a “depressing, unaffordable slog.” Notably, at least one surveyed voter expressed regret for their previous support of the President.
Jaime Escobar Jr., the mayor of Roma, Texas, a small border town, offered a positive assessment of the administration’s efforts. “He believes Mr. Trump has made strides in his first year in office to control border crossings.”
These diverse reactions highlight the continued polarization within the country and the varying impacts of the administration’s policies on different communities. The Times will continue to follow these voters as the Trump administration progresses.
