President Donald Trump's approval rating has once again dropped as more Americans are worried about the economy, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos poll.

The survey showed only 41% of respondents approved Trump's overall job performance as president, a decrease from the 47% reported when he took office in January, as well as the 42% reported during the September 9 poll. An estimated 54% of respondents said the economy was on the wrong track, which was higher than the 53% reported in the August poll and the 52% reported in the July poll.

Only 35% of respondents approved Trump's economic performance, while just 28% approved his handling of the cost of living, both of which were lower than previous polls. The president made the fixing the economy a key talking point of his 2024 campaign, but U.S. job growth was reported to have weakened in August as unemployment rose to a nearly four-year high at 4.3%.

Trump's approval rating for American satisfaction is reported to be at its lowest point since the beginning of his second term in office, according to the September poll from Gallup. The survey, which was conducted between September 2 and September 16, showed that 29% of Americans are satisfied with his job performance, with Republicans reportedly accounting for most of the drop from the 31% reported in August.

The satisfaction rate is, however, still higher than the 20% reported in January prior to the president taking office.

Trump also reportedly had a 43% approval rating and a 56% disapproval rating in the four-day Washington Post-Ipsos poll released on September 18, which showed a slight improvement from its last survey released in April reporting a 39% approval and 55% disapproval. The president is also reported to have a 43% approval and 54% disapproval in the latest New York Times poll, as well as an average of 46% approval and 52% disapproval, according to RealClearPolitics, which tabulates several national polling sites.
