As President Donald Trump completes the first 30 days of his second term in office, a new Reuters/Ipsos poll finds his approval rating has dipped.
In a six-day poll that closed Tuesday, 44% of survey respondents said they approve of the job he is doing as president — down from 47% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken hours after he first took office.
His disapproval rating has risen more quickly, increasing to 51% in the newest poll compared with 41% right after his return to the White House.
While 47% of respondents approve of his immigration policy, a growing share of Americans think he is putting the economy on the wrong track, the poll found. A majority of those surveyed (53%) in the latest poll said the economy is heading in the wrong direction compared with 43% late last month.
At the same point in Trump’s first presidency, in February 2017, Trump’s approval rating for the economy was 10 points higher: 53%.
Just 32% of survey respondents in the most recent poll approved of Trump’s handling of inflation. The annual inflation rate for the 12 months ending in January was 3% — up from 2.89% the month prior, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Trump, however, was president for roughly a third of the month and has said the rising inflation has nothing to do with his policies.
The Reuters/Ipsos survey had a margin of error of about 2 percentage points.
