Trump economic approval rating falls to 37 percent: Survey
by Filip Timotija - 04/23/25 7:59 AM ETPresident Trump is seeing a drop in economic approval as concerns rise over his sweeping tariff agenda, which he argues would revitalize manufacturing domestically, according to a new survey.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll, released Wednesday, found that just 37 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s handling of the economy — down 5 points since he returned to the Oval Office earlier this year. It is the lowest figure on the topic spanning both of his presidential terms, the pollster noted.
Nearly 75 percent of U.S. adults said they are worried about a recession and more than half the respondents, 56 percent, said Trump’s retooling of the economy is “too erratic,” including about one-in-four Republican voters, the survey found.
The numbers also show that two-thirds of Americans said they are concerned about the impact of his trade war on the stock market. When giving the statement, “Trump’s actions could make it harder for me to live comfortably when I retire,” roughly 52 percent of U.S. adults said they agreed, while 31 percent said otherwise, according to the poll.
The Reuters/Ipsos survey was conducted from April 16-21 among 4,306 U.S. adults. The margin of error was around 2 percentage points.
