President Donald Trump's approval rating fell to 43%, the lowest since his return to office, as Americans soured on his tariff moves and his administration's handling of information about a military strike in Yemen, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The three-day poll, which closed on Wednesday, showed approval of Trump's performance as president down 2 percentage points from a poll conducted March 21-23 and 4 points below the 47% approval he had shortly after taking office on January 20.

Trump registered his highest first-term approval rating, 49%, shortly after he took office in January 2017. His lowest first-term rating was 33% in December 2017. His overall approval remains stronger than it was for most of his first term.

Respondents gave Trump poor marks for his handling of the economy, which 37% approved of, with 30% approving of his work to address the high cost of living, an issue that also dogged Biden.

2. Yes! When the impact of tariffs and the Doge cuts hit, he'll be hated by more than 60% of Americans.

3. Not low enough should be at 3%

[mwb970]

4. It will continue to go down.

The True Belever MAGA morons are about 30% and I am pretty sure they are lost to the cult for good. Everyone else can plainly see how vile and horrible trump is.

5. Should be 0

Should be a big fat goose egg.

8. Still pretty high

53% on immigration as he ships people off to foreign prisons. magas are loving it. That’s what they voted for.. that and the racism, sexism antisemitism and the rest of their bullshitism.

9. Way too high

Should be in the minus column.

[rpannier]

10. 43% of those in that polls are hopeless

Hopefully they never have/can't breed

11. The next Republican running for Pres carries 100% of Trumps baggage

Especially since it will probably be Vance or a member of Congress that was all in with their Fuhrer on this disaster.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. I predict a 10 point or more drop by July 4th.

43% job approval is still too damn high!

His job approval rating will be in the low 30's within a few months as the DJI continued to fall, 401Ks lose value, costs for basic items increase along with Inflation and Unemployment.

MAKE AMERICA POOR GAIN should be the message Democrats will be using. How do MAGAt Republicans defend that?
