A recent poll indicates that U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has reached the lowest level for any newly elected president at the 100-day mark in over seventy years.
Conducted by ABC, The Washington Post, and the market research firm Ipsos, the poll results released on Sunday reveal that 39 percent of participants approve of Trump's presidency, marking a 6 percentage point decrease since February. Conversely, 55 percent disapprove of his performance in office.
Notably, only 21 percent of those surveyed indicated they "strongly" approve of Trump's handling of the presidency, the lowest recorded since he took office. In comparison, around twice as many respondents—44 percent—expressed "strong" disapproval.
The poll results also show that 72 percent of participants believe Trump's economic policies are "very" or "somewhat" likely to lead to a recession in the near term, with 73 percent stating that the economy is in poor condition.
Additionally, 53 percent of respondents feel that the economy has worsened since Trump assumed office, and 41 percent reported a decline in their own financial situations.
More than 70 percent of those surveyed believe that Trump's tariff policy is a contributing factor to rising prices. Regarding tariff issues, 64 percent expressed no support for Trump's policies, while 61 percent do not endorse the Trump administration's overall economic approach and its relationship with other nations.
A separate CNN/SSRS poll released on Sunday shows that after nearly 100 days in office, Trump's approval rating stands at 41 percent, which is a 4 percentage point decline from March and a 7 percentage point drop since late February.
Only 22 percent of respondents reported that they "strongly approve of" Trump's performance, a new low, while approximately 45 percent of participants "strongly disapprove" of his actions.
CNN attributed the decline in Trump's approval rating on economic matters since early March to his tariff policy, which has caused stock market volatility and raised concerns regarding rising prices.
