Almost 70 percent of Americans say President Trump is not paying enough attention to the country’s most important problems, according to a recent
CNN poll
, which is up from 55 percent when he first took office last year. Large majorities of young voters, independents and nonwhite voters say that Trump is focused on the wrong issues.
Voters broadly disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration and want him to focus more attention on high prices, according to an
ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll
.

It is not uncommon for polls to show a fairly broad range of support on an issue. Results can vary because of the inherent challenges of polling — surveys can only be expected to be accurate within a couple of percentage points — or because polls were conducted using different methods and at different times. One of the reasons examining an average of polls can be so useful is it can balance out these differences and make it easier to analyze change over time.

President Trump’s approval ratings were remarkably stable in the first year of his second term, even amid a number of polarizing issues. After an initial period of decline during his first 100 days in office, Trump’s first-year approval ratings showed less variability than those of any presidential term since Bill Clinton, save those of his own first term.
About our polling averages
Source: Polling averages produced by The New York Times. Polls collected by The New York Times. Historical polling data provided by the
Roper Center for Public Opinion Research
and FiveThirtyEight. To suggest a poll, or report a possible error, contact

.
The polling averages adjust for a variety of factors, including the recency and sample size of a poll, whether a poll represents all adults, registered voters or likely voters, and whether other polls have shifted since a poll was conducted.
Pollsters that meet at least two of the three criteria below are considered “select pollsters” by The Times, as long as they are conducting polls for nonpartisan sponsors.
Has a track record of accuracy in recent elections
Is a member of a professional polling organization
Conducts probability-based sampling
These elements factor into how much weight each poll gets in the average. Polls that were conducted by or for partisan organizations are labeled, as they often release results that are favorable only to their causes. Margins are calculated using unrounded vote shares when available.

Almost 70 percent of Americans say President Trump is not paying enough attention to the country’s most important problems, according to a recent[CNN poll](https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/27353615/cnn-poll-conducted-by-ssrs-donald-trump-approval.pdf), which is up from 55 percent when he first took office last year. Large majorities of young voters, independents and nonwhite voters say that Trump is focused on the wrong issues.
Voters broadly disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration and want him to focus more attention on high prices, according to an[ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll](https://abcnews.com/Politics/americans-disapprove-trump-issues-americans-dont-trust-dems/story?id=130346647).

**Ruth Igielnik**Staff editor, polling
It is not uncommon for polls to show a fairly broad range of support on an issue. Results can vary because of the inherent challenges of polling — surveys can only be expected to be accurate within a couple of percentage points — or because polls were conducted using different methods and at different times. One of the reasons examining an average of polls can be so useful is it can balance out these differences and make it easier to analyze change over time.

Bush first term \+60 Approve
**Irineo Cabreros**Staff editor, statistical modeling
President Trump’s approval ratings were remarkably stable in the first year of his second term, even amid a number of polarizing issues. After an initial period of decline during his first 100 days in office, Trump’s first-year approval ratings showed less variability than those of any presidential term since Bill Clinton, save those of his own first term.
About our polling averages
Source: Polling averages produced by The New York Times. Polls collected by The New York Times. Historical polling data provided by the [Roper Center for Public Opinion Research](https://ropercenter.cornell.edu/ipoll/) and FiveThirtyEight. To suggest a poll, or report a possible error, contact [polls@nytimes.com](mailto:polls@nytimes.com).
The polling averages adjust for a variety of factors, including the recency and sample size of a poll, whether a poll represents all adults, registered voters or likely voters, and whether other polls have shifted since a poll was conducted.
Pollsters that meet at least two of the three criteria below are considered “select pollsters” by The Times, as long as they are conducting polls for nonpartisan sponsors. Has a track record of accuracy in recent electionsIs a member of a professional polling organizationConducts probability-based sampling
These elements factor into how much weight each poll gets in the average. Polls that were conducted by or for partisan organizations are labeled, as they often release results that are favorable only to their causes. Margins are calculated using unrounded vote shares when available. [Read more about our methodology](https://www.nytimes.com/article/election-polling-averages-methodology.html).
The Times conducts its own national and state polls in partnership with Siena University. Those polls are included in the averages. [Follow Times/Siena polling here](https://www.nytimes.com/news-event/times-siena-poll-coverage).
