U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has experienced a slight decline as concerns mount over his economic policies, particularly his controversial tariff strategies. According to a recent poll conducted by Emerson College and reported by The Hill, Trump's approval rating now stands at 47%, down from 49% shortly after his inauguration. Meanwhile, the percentage of Americans who negatively view his performance has risen to 45%, an increase from 41%.
The poll, marking Trump's 50th day in office, highlights significant public disapproval of his economic direction. A striking 48% of respondents expressed opposition to Trump's economic policies, while only 37% voiced support. The President's tariff policies, in particular, are seen as a threat to economic growth, with 53% of those surveyed believing they could harm the economy.
In addition to tariffs, 46% of respondents feel that Trump's policies are worsening economic conditions, compared to just 28% who believe they are improving the situation. Despite these figures, Trump's handling of immigration has received a more favorable assessment, with 48% support among voters.
Spencer Kimball, the poll director at Emerson College, noted that while Trump has yet to achieve notable success in economic matters in the public's eyes, his approval rating remains relatively strong. However, Kimball emphasized that the true challenge will be how voters perceive their financial future under Trump's administration. He remarked, "The initial honeymoon phase seems to be ending," indicating that the President may face increasing scrutiny moving forward.
The poll surveyed 1,000 registered U.S. voters from March 8th to March 10th, with a margin of error of ±3 percentage points. As Trump's presidency progresses, it remains to be seen how his economic policies will continue to shape public opinion and his overall approval ratings.
