U.S. President Donald Trump’s public approval rating fell to 42%, its lowest since his comeback as U.S. president, an Ipsos poll for Reuters showed.
According to the six-day poll that closed on Monday, 42% of respondents approved of Trump’s performance, while 53% of those surveyed said they did not support his policies.
Trump’s approval rating edged lower from 43% in the previous poll, while it stood at 45% in the latter half of March. The results of the latest poll suggest many Americans disapprove of Trump’s steps to punish universities that he views as too liberal.
Some 59% of those surveyed said the United States was losing credibility globally, while three-quarters of respondents said Trump should not run for his third presidency in 2028.
The poll surveyed more than 4,300 U.S. adults on April 16-21.
