Poll: Trump's approval rating equal to new low for second term, overshadowed by economic concerns.

Reuters/Ipsos' latest poll shows that this week, the approval rating of President Trump in the United States has slightly dropped to 42%, tying his lowest level of the new term. American people continue to hold a negative view of his handling of the US economy. The three-day poll, which ended on Sunday, showed that Trump's approval rating has slightly decreased compared to a week ago, when it was at 44%. The margin of error for the poll is plus or minus 3 percentage points. Historically, Trump's approval rating is low, but still higher than most of his first term and better than Biden's approval rating in the latter half of his term from 2021 to 2025. Trump's highest approval rating was 47% shortly after returning to the White House in January. In recent weeks, his approval rating has remained relatively stable. Only 39% of respondents in the poll believe that Trump is doing well in managing the US economy, which is consistent with a week ago. Economists say that Trump's promise of a golden age for the US economy helped him win the 2024 presidential election, but his radical measures to reshape global business, including imposing high tariffs on major trading partners, have increased the risk of an economic downturn. In the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll, about 33% of respondents approve of Trump's way of managing the cost of living, higher than the 31% from a week ago.
