Trump’s Approval Rating Reaches 39% Amid Economic Concerns

Trump's approval rating has dropped to 39%, reflecting discontent over economic management.
33% of respondents approve of Trump's handling of the economy, the lowest since his second term began.
Economic concerns, including inflation, are causing dissatisfaction even among Trump's supporters.

Recent polling shows that President Trump’s approval rating has fallen to 39%, down from 41% earlier this month. This decline is primarily driven by voter dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy, particularly among Republican voters, where approval dropped from 78% to 72% regarding economic issues, according to Reuters and Al Jazeera.

The latest Reuters/Ipsos survey reveals that only 33% of participants approved of Trump’s economic policies, marking a significant low since he resumed office in January. Furthermore, the approval rating concerning cost-of-living issues has dipped to 27%, highlighting growing economic anxiety among Americans, especially regarding prices for essentials like food and healthcare, as reported by Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Despite the downturn in approval ratings, Trump has dismissed concerns over rising costs, labeling them as a "hoax" perpetrated by the media and political adversaries. He insists that the economy is in a "golden age," a claim met with skepticism given the persistent inflation rates, which have influenced voter sentiment significantly, according to The Hill, Reuters, and Al Jazeera.
