The president continues to assert that he is working to “drain the swamp” of Washington politics, but only 24% of Americans believe he is making progress on that score — including 51% of Republicans, 24% of independents, and 4% of Democrats. In fact, 32% of the public say he is actually making the swamp worse — including 53% of Democrats, 34% of independents, and 3% of Republicans. Another third (35%) say that nothing about “the swamp” has really changed under President Trump — an opinion shared fairly equally by Republicans (37%), Democrats (36%), and independents (34%) alike. …

Just over one-third (35%) of the public says President Trump’s agenda so far has focused a lot on issues that are important to average Americans — which is down from 42% who said the same in March. Another 30% say he has focused a little on these issues and 32% say he has not focused at all on issues important to average Americans.

Only 34% of Americans say Trump gives enough attention to issues that are most important to their own families, while a majority of 62% wish the president would give those issues more attention. Two months ago, 36% said Trump was giving these issues enough attention and 57% said they wish he would do more.
