(WHTM) – A majority of Americans do not believe President Donald Trump’s administration is sticking to the president’s campaign message of “America first,” according to a new national Emerson College Polling survey.

The poll of 1,000 likely voters found 53% of voters do not believe the administration is “putting America first,” compared to 42% who say he is.

The percentage of voters who don’t believe America is being prioritized is up from 41% in March 2025.

A majority of Americans (51%) also disapprove of the president’s job performance; however, his disapproval has improved by four points since last month. His approval rating ticked down one point to 42% from last month’s poll.

A plurality of voters (47%) also oppose the U.S. military’s actions in Iran; 76% of Democrats, 51% of Independents, and 16% of Republicans oppose the war.

The economy remains the top issue for voters (34%), followed by threats to democracy at 19%, down 11 points from February.

Nationally, Democrats remain favored in the generic congressional ballot test, leading Republicans 49% to 42%.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former Vice President Kamala Harris also remain largely unpopular with voters. Fifty-five percent of voters have an unfavorable opinion of Schumer, and 47% are unfavorable of Harris.

Harris remains popular with Democrats with a 79% favorable rating, while Democrats are largely split on Schumer, with 38% favorable, 31% unsure, and 30% unfavorable.

California Governor Gavin Newsom, former transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg, Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, and Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear are more popular nationally than otherwise in the poll.

The poll’s full results and methodology can be found on the Emerson College Polling website.
