📉 Trump’s Approval Slides Amid Growing Economic Fears, New Poll Reveals

Wednesday, September 24, 2025

SAEDNEWS: US President Donald Trump's approval ticked slightly lower in recent weeks as Americans worried about the health of the US economy and the Republican's ability to contain rising prices, according to a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.

📉 Trump’s Approval Slides Amid Growing Economic Fears, New Poll Reveals

A recent three-day nationwide poll revealed shifting public sentiment toward President Donald Trump. Closing Sunday, the survey showed 41% of Americans approved of Trump’s performance, slightly down from 42% in early September. Meanwhile, 54% said the national economy was on the wrong track, up from 53% in August.

Economic stewardship remains a weak point: only 35% approved of Trump’s handling of the economy, and a mere 28% endorsed his management of the cost of living—both figures slightly lower than previous readings. Job growth weakened sharply in August, with unemployment hitting a four-year high of 4.3%, while inflation accelerated.

Despite economic concerns, Trump continues to resonate on issues like immigration, where 42% of respondents approved of his policies, marking his strongest approval in the poll.

The survey also highlighted rising fears over political extremism. 28% identified extremism as the nation’s biggest problem, compared to 16% who cited the economy. When asked which party could better tackle extremism, 30% favored Republicans, 26% favored Democrats, and the rest were split or uncertain.

Trump’s overall approval is buoyed by his immigration stance and relative perception of Republicans on economic policy (34% to Democrats’ 24%), even as voters express growing concern over financial stability.

The online poll surveyed 1,019 participants nationwide, with a 3-point margin of error. This month, Reuters/Ipsos slightly changed methodology, removing the “not sure” option for overall presidential approval, providing a clearer snapshot of voter sentiment.

Bottom line: Trump maintains a loyal base, but economic unease and extremism fears dominate public discourse, signaling challenges ahead for his agenda.
