President Donald Trump's approval rating has increased to 44%, reflecting a recovery from previous lows, as reported by a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll. This rise from 42% is notable during a period when public concerns about economic management appear to be subsiding. Approval for Trump's handling of the economy has also ticked up to 39%, up from 36% in the last poll conducted in late April, indicating a slight improvement in public trust related to economic issues, according to Reuters, The Hill, and Newsweek.

The recent poll showed a significant decrease in public apprehension regarding an impending recession, with 69% of respondents expressing concern, down from 76% earlier in April. Also, the level of worry about stock market fluctuations fell from 67% to 60%. This shift may be linked to Trump's recent decisions to suspend his controversial tariff policies with China, which previously intensified economic fears, according to Reuters, The Hill, and Newsweek.

Despite Trump's increasing approval ratings, a substantial portion of the electorate holds him responsible for any potential economic downturn, with 59% of survey participants indicating they would blame Trump in the event of a recession. Only 37% said they would place the blame on former President Joe Biden, highlighting the ongoing political tensions surrounding economic performance, according to Reuters, The Hill, and Newsweek.

Trump's approval rating of 44% marks the highest since he initiated his tariff policies earlier in April, under a plan he termed "Liberation Day." The easing of trade tensions appears to have positively influenced public sentiment, as evidenced by the Dow Jones Industrial Average's rebound of over 1,000 points. This increase in the stock market could correlate with reduced economic anxiety among voters, reflecting a complex relationship between trade policies and public opinion, according to Reuters, The Hill, and Newsweek.
