Trump approval collapsing, first time 51% reject him – Washington Examiner
The article discusses a meaningful drop in President Donald Trump’s approval ratings,marking the first time that more than 50% of respondents disapprove of his performance. According to rasmussen Reports,Trump’s approval stands at 48%,while disapproval is at 51%. This decline in approval is attributed to the adverse effects of his recent trade policies, particularly the imposition of tariffs, which have lead to a sharp decline in the stock market—around 8,000 points or 17% since the end of January. Critics argue that the impact of these economic decisions has affected public perception of Trump’s leadership. Despite the downturn, Trump’s team maintains that such market fluctuations are necessary to correct existing trade imbalances.

Democratic critics had long predicted that Trump’s attack on the bureaucracy would cause his approval rating to plummet, but it never did. Only after his tariffs crashed Wall Street and, with it, retirement savings accounts did it nick his approvals.
