It seems like you’ve provided an excerpt from a CNN article by Jennifer Agiesta discussing a poll on Donald Trump’s approval ratings as of late February 2025, just before his first formal address to Congress in his second term. However, you haven’t asked a specific question. I’ll assume you’d like me to summarize or analyze this information based on the data provided. If you have a different request, please let me know!

Here’s a summary of the key points from the CNN poll conducted by SSRS from February 24-28, 2025:

Approval Rating: As of late February 2025, 48% of Americans approve of Trump’s performance, while 52% disapprove. This is roughly consistent with mid-February numbers, though the poll predates a notable Oval Office clash with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on February 28, so it doesn’t reflect reactions to that event.

Partisan Divide: Trump remains highly popular among Republicans (90% approval) and deeply unpopular among Democrats (90% disapproval). Independents lean negative, with 41% approving and 59% disapproving, a slight shift from earlier in February (43% approval, 56% disapproval).

Policy Direction: More Americans (45%) believe Trump’s policies are taking the country in the wrong direction compared to 39% who see them as moving in the right direction, with 15% undecided. This contrasts with a more even split in early 2017 after his first-term congressional address.

Priorities: A majority (52%) feel Trump isn’t focusing enough on the country’s most important problems, while 40% think his priorities are on track, and 8% are unsure. Even among his supporters, small but significant shares (12% of approvers, 9% of those who like his policy direction) question his focus.

Demographic Breakdown:

Younger Adults (18-34): 41% approve, 51% say policies are wrong-direction, 61% say priorities are off.

Hispanic Adults: 41% approve, 31% see right direction, 64% say priorities are off.

Black Adults: 28% approve, 14% see right direction, 69% say priorities are off.

Women: 42% approve, 57% disapprove.

Men: 54% approve, 46% disapprove.

Whites without College Degrees: 61% approve.

Context: Trump’s 48% approval is higher than it was before his 2017 congressional address during his first term, though his speeches historically haven’t shifted public opinion much (no more than 3 points). The poll suggests skepticism about his policy proposals persists, particularly among independents, younger adults, and people of color, with some still undecided.

If you’d like me to dig deeper into a specific aspect—like comparing this to earlier polls, analyzing the Zelensky meeting’s potential impact, or breaking down demographic trends further—just let me know!
