(AURN News) — President Donald Trump’s approval rating has slipped to 42%, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll, continuing a gradual decline over recent months.
The poll shows a three-percentage-point drop from the 45% approval rating recorded just one month ago, highlighting ongoing challenges for the president in his second term.
Trump, who won re-election campaigning heavily on economic policy, now faces diminishing public confidence in his handling of the economy. Only 37% of Americans approve of his economic policies, according to the poll.
Immigration policy, another cornerstone of Trump’s campaign platform, has also seen eroding support. The survey indicates that 45% of Americans currently approve of the president’s immigration policies, down from 50% in polling conducted March 11–12.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll comes as the administration continues to implement its second-term agenda following January’s inauguration, ranging from the tariff wars to even recent calls to garnish the wages of those who have defaulted on student loans.
