The public approval index of President Donald Trump fell to his lowest level since his return to the White House, since the Americans showed signs of caution about their efforts to expand their power, according to a survey of Reuters/Ipsos.
About 42% of respondents in the Six Days and which ended on Monday approved Trump’s performance as president, below 43% in a Reuters/Ipsos survey held three weeks before, and 47% in the hours after its inauguration on January 20.
The beginning of Trump’s mandate stunned his political adversaries, since they signed dozens of decrees that expand their influence on both government departments and private institutions and universities and law firms.
Trump’s approval index remains superior to that registered during most of the presidency of his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden.
But the results of the Reuters/Ipsos survey suggest that many Americans feel uncomfortable with their measures to punish universities that he considers too liberal and to settle as president of the Kennedy Center Council, an important theatrical and cultural institution of Washington.
83% of the 4,306 respondents said that the president of the United States must obey the sentences of federal courts even if they do not want.

Trump government officials could face criminal charges for contempt for violating the order of a federal judge who arrested the deportations of alleged members of a Venezuelan gang who did not have the opportunity to challenge their expulsions.
57% – including a third of Republicans – did not agree with the claim that “it is fine that a president of the United States retains the financing of universities if the president does not agree with how the university is directed.”
Trump, who argued that universities do not fight against anti -Semitism on campus, froze large federal money budgeted for studies houses, including more than 2,000 million dollars only for Harvard University.
In issues such as inflation and immigration to taxes and the rule of law, the Reuters/Ipsos survey showed that Americans who disapproved Trump’s performance exceeded those who approved it. In immigration, its area of greatest support, 45% of those consulted approved Trump’s performance, but 46% disapproved.
59% of respondents – including a third of Republicans – said the United States is losing credibility in the world scene.
Three quarters of the respondents said that Trump should not appear to a third mandate, something that the Republican said he would like to do, although the Constitution prohibits it. Most Republican respondents, 53%, said Trump should not appear to a third mandate.
