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% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 24-26. Trump’s approval rating stood at 47% in a January 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% in the latest poll, compared with 41% right after he took office.

    Oh it’s the economy is it? That’s the biggest problem with Trump?
    It’s not about him undermining democracy from day 1?
    Or the fact that he is internationally despised for his incompetence and acting like an elephant in a China store.
    There were lots of warnings that Trumps policies would hurt the economy. If you voted for Trump, you got exactly what you voted for!!!

    Fuck off with these consent-manufacturing poll-fraudsters trying to attribute the decline to “the economy” and not “turning the US into a goddamned dictatorship.”

    I’m sorry, a week ago I was told by CBS and the poster of the article that 53% approved of Trump and called him Energetic and tough. The poster said that we can’t deny that the majority of people approve of all that Trump is doing. Now we see that actually his approval is much lower just like I was saying a week ago? That almost all of the approval rating polls show his approval as somewhere in the mid 40s which is significantly less than that CBS poll?

    Huh. Maybe CBS was just trying to avoid the 20 Billion dollar lawsuit.

    I find it pretty worrying that he has an approval rating that can still drop. I would have thought he would have reached 0 by now. The fact that the approval is over 40% is just mind boggling.
