Americans uneasy at Trump's moves to expand presidential power, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds 68% of Americans oppose Trump's expanded executive powers, including deploying troops and economic controls, reflecting broad unease across party lines.

  • President Donald Trump has expanded executive power by deploying troops to U.S. cities and attempting to control parts of the economy recently.
  • This expansion follows concerns about urban crime, though many Americans and experts do not see the situation as an unprecedented emergency requiring such measures.
  • Trump has considered deploying military forces to cities such as Chicago and New Orleans, assumed authority over the Washington, D.C. police, and advocated for government investment in Intel as well as profit-sharing from Nvidia’s sales in China.
  • A Reuters/Ipsos poll found only 32% of Americans feel safer with troops in cities, with 62% of Republicans supportive, and overall approval of Trump stable at 42%.
  • The poll suggests a majority favor limits on presidential power and disapprove of Trump's norm-breaking efforts despite crime concerns in some areas.
