A new Reuters/Ipsos poll shows a decline in U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating, which has dropped to 39%, amid growing dissatisfaction among Republican voters over his economic performance.
The survey was conducted online over a three-day period and concluded on December 14, based on a sample of 1,016 American adults.
According to Reuters, the poll, which ran for three days and closed on Sunday, indicates that 39% of U.S. adults approve of Donald Trump’s performance, down from 41% earlier in December and just one point above the 38% recorded in mid-November—the president’s lowest level of support so far this year.
Last week, another Reuters/Ipsos poll nonetheless showed a slightly higher approval rating, at 41%.
Donald Trump returned to office in January with an approval rating of 47%, but his popularity has since eroded, particularly with regard to his handling of the economy. A partial federal government shutdown has also disrupted the collection of certain U.S. economic data.
Only 33% of American adults say they approve of the way Donald Trump is managing the U.S. economy, marking his lowest rating on this issue since the start of the year.
