Donald Trump approval rating rises to two-month high at 44%, analysts credit stabilized economy, tariff pause

A new poll by The Economist and YouGov says that 44% of U.S. adults now think Trump is doing a good job. This is the highest number since early April, when it was 46%. But still, 52% of people don’t like how he is doing as president. Experts think the rise is because the economy is doing better and some disliked taxes on goods have been stopped.

This comes after a book called “Original Sin” by Jake Tapper and Alex Thompson said there was a cover-up about Biden’s mental health. The poll found 57% of Americans, including 28% of Democrats, think the Democratic Party hid info about Biden’s health. Biden is transparent about his health is believed by only 31% of Americans.

In comparison, 42% said Trump is transparent about his health. The May 23 to 26 poll had 1,660 U.S. adults and 1,486 registered voters, with a margin of error of plus minus 3.2%. The earlier May 16 to 19 poll had 1,710 U.S. adults and 1,558 registered voters, also with a margin of error of plus minus 3.2%.
