Protest activities were held in many places of the United States on the 19th. People in cities such as the capital Washington, New York, San Francisco, and Boston took to the streets to protest against the government's policies of large-scale layoffs, additional tariffs, and deportation of immigrants. The latest poll results show that Trump's approval rating on economic issues has dropped to its lowest point.

At the gate of the White House in Washington, protesters held various signboards with slogans such as "Stop Illegal Deportation" and "A Constitutional Crisis Has Arrived" to express their dissatisfaction.

Frank, who works for a non-profit organization in Washington, said that the current administration canceled student visas and deported immigrants without any trial, driving them out of the United States, which violates due process.

The Wood couple, who came from Bradford County, Pennsylvania, to participate in the protest at the gate of the White House, said that the current administration claims that all those being deported are criminals, and some people have been arrested just because they have tattoos, "This is racism, they are targeting people of color."

Sophie, who works for the American National Service Team, said that the cuts to federal funding by the current administration worry her a lot. Sophie's companion, MacRae, said that before Trump took office, he promised to lower prices, "but what he is doing now is exactly the opposite." MacRae is concerned that the tariff policy will increase the operating costs of her construction company.

In cities such as Denver, Colorado, Portland, Oregon, and Anchorage, Alaska, hundreds to thousands of protesters held various signs to express their dissatisfaction with the government's policies of deporting immigrants and large-scale layoffs.

Since President Trump has taken office three months ago, protests have occurred multiple times across the United States. On April 5th, more than a thousand protests were held nationwide, covering all 50 states. In Washington, affected by policies such as large-scale layoffs by the federal government, protests have become routine.

Trump's Approval Rating on Economic Issues Hits New Low

According to a new public opinion survey by CNBC on April 19th, local time, the way President Trump handled issues related to tariffs, inflation, and government spending has caused widespread dissatisfaction, leading to his approval rating on economic issues dropping to a new low during his presidency.

The survey found that 44% of respondents approve of his handling, while 51% disapprove. On economic issues, Trump's approval rate is 43%, and the disapproval rate is 55%. Additionally, 49% of respondents believe that the U.S. economy will worsen over the next year.

Jay Campbell, a partner of Democratic polling firm Hart Research Associates, who participated in this survey, said that the original intention of Trump's second term was to improve the economy, but so far, people are not satisfied with what they see.

This public opinion survey was conducted from April 9th to 13th, interviewing 1000 Americans, with a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.
