Trump approval falls to 43%, lowest since returning to office, Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Omaha Steve (a host of the Latest Breaking News forum).

President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 43%, the lowest since his return to office, as Americans soured on his tariff moves and his administration's handling of information about a military strike in Yemen, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The three-day poll, which closed on Wednesday, showed approval of Trump's performance as president down 2 percentage points from a poll conducted March 21-23 and 4 points below the 47% approval he had shortly after taking office on January 20.

Trump registered his highest first-term approval rating, 49%, shortly after he took office in January 2017. His lowest first-term rating was 33% in December 2017. His overall approval remains stronger than it was for most of his first term.

Respondents gave Trump poor marks for his handling of the economy, which 37% approved of, with 30% approving of his work to address the high cost of living, an issue that also dogged Biden.

The True Belever MAGA morons are about 30% and I am pretty sure they are lost to the cult for good. Everyone else can plainly see how vile and horrible trump is.

Especially since it will probably be Vance or a member of Congress that was all in with their Fuhrer on this disaster.

43% job approval is still too damn high!

His job approval rating will be in the low 30's within a few months as the DJI continued to fall, 401Ks lose value, costs for basic items increase along with Inflation and Unemployment.

MAKE AMERICA POOR GAIN should be the message Democrats will be using. How do MAGAt Republicans defend that?
