Trump’s policies are criticized outside the US; but his policies are getting traction within the US. That is what a recent survey reveals. More adults in the United States support President Donald Trump’s handling of the conflict in Israel since he brokered a ceasefire deal in Gaza, a new AP-NORC poll finds — but his approval ratings on domestic issues remain weak.

In interviews, even some of his voters said he needs to do more to address issues such as the economy, healthcare, and immigration.

The margin of sampling error for adults overall is plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.
