Reference Message Network reported on April 24 that according to a report by Agence France-Presse on April 23, a poll released on the 23rd showed that US President Donald Trump's approval rating continued to decline, especially affected by his performance in the economy and immigration.
According to a poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov among 1905 people, Trump's approval rating dropped from 50% when he returned to the White House in January to 41%. Another poll conducted by the Pew Research Center among 3589 people showed that Trump's approval rate fell from 47% in February to 40%. This is much lower than his predecessor Joe Biden's approval rate at this time in April 2021.
Gallup Poll recently pointed out that during the first three months of his second term, Trump's average approval rating was around 45%, which is the lowest level for US presidents after World War II.
Reportedly, Trump's image in economic governance has been weakened under the circumstances of initiating a trade war against the world and then reversing course. Last year, voters trusted him more in the economic field, but according to The Economist/YouGov poll, now 54% of voters believe that the US economy is deteriorating, while this number was only 37% in January this year.
Trump's declining approval rating is particularly related to the cost of living. According to a poll by Reuters/Ipsos, only 31% of Americans approve of Trump's actions in the economy. Inflation was a key topic in the presidential election last November, and Trump once vowed to reduce prices. However, most economists believe that his trade war will definitely push inflation higher again.
