Trump's Approval Rating Slips as Americans Worry about the Economy

Majority of Americans oppose new tariff

U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has ticked slightly lower in recent days as more Americans worried about the direction of the U.S. economy as the new leader threatens a host of countries with tariffs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The six-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, showed 44% of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, down from 45 percent in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted Jan. 24-26. Trump's approval rating stood at 47 percent in a Jan. 20-21 poll conducted in the hours after the Republican's return to the White House.

The share of Americans who disapprove of his presidency has risen more substantially, to 51 percent in the latest poll, compared with 41 percent right after he took office.
