According to a report on April 20 by Reference News Network, citing a report from CNBC's website on April 19, according to CNBC's latest national economic survey, US President Trump's handling of tariffs, inflation, and government spending has sparked widespread dissatisfaction, resulting in his lowest approval rating on economic issues since he began his presidency. The report found that the optimism about the economy accompanying Trump's re-election as president has disappeared. Currently, more respondents believe that the economy will worsen than at any time since 2023, and public sentiment toward the stock market has turned sharply pessimistic. This survey of 1,000 Americans shows that Trump's approval rating on economic issues is 43%, with a disapproval rating of 55%. This is the first time during his presidency that the number of people who disapprove of him on economic issues exceeds those who approve. Jay Campbell, a partner at Hart Research Associates, which conducted the survey, said, "Trump was re-elected as president because people wanted to improve the economy, but so far, people are not satisfied with what they see." Additionally, according to a report by the Nikkei Asian Review on April 20, April 20 marks three months since the start of the second Trump administration in the United States. As of April 17, the 60th trading day after the start of the second Trump administration, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fallen by 10%. Comparing the performance of the Dow Jones Industrial Average during the early days of each US administration, it was found that except for the Ford administration (ascending from vice president to president in August 1974), the current administration has seen the largest decline since the end of the 19th century. Shortly after the Trump administration took office, threats to raise tariffs and significantly cut government spending led to a deterioration in business confidence and severely impacted the market. The market entered crisis mode after Trump announced on April 2 the implementation of so-called "reciprocal tariffs." MacMillan, chief investment officer at IDX Consulting, said, "Uncertainty brought by tariff policies is the last thing Wall Street wants to see." He believed that the increase in uncertainty triggered panic selling. A situation has emerged where US Treasury bonds are being sold off and long-term interest rates are rising sharply.
