Trump's approval rating slips as Americans worry about economy

Odaily News A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has fallen slightly in recent days as more Americans worry about the direction of the U.S. economy and Trump threatens to impose tariffs on many countries. The six-day poll ended on Tuesday, with 44% of respondents approving of Trump's job, down from 45% in the January 24-26 poll.

This proportion has not changed much from January. But in the latest survey, the proportion of Americans who think the economy is on the wrong track rose from 43% to 53%. Public approval of Trump's economic management has fallen to 39% from 43% previously. (Jin Shi)
