They did... by voting... and are mostly happy with the new trajectory. Perhaps your perception is being manipulated into thinking there's something wrong with this new direction.

Is there polling where Trump is particularly higher than 50% approval? I haven't seen any.

How do you get to "mostly" from there?

just about 1/3 of eligible voters chose trump. about another 1/3 didn't vote at all. that's probably the most damning figure.
