Donald Trump Approval Ratings




Trump's approval ratings slumped over the past month as the Iran war drives prices higher, according to a new AP-NORC poll, and Republicans seem to have less faith in his leadership as well.

The findings from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research show a president who is struggling with unfulfilled promises to tame inflation and testing Americans’ patience with a war in the Middle East that has no defined ending.

Trump’s approval rating on the economy dropped to 30 per cent in April from 38 per cent in a March AP-NORC poll. A similarly low share of U.S. adults, 32 per cent, approve of the president’s leadership on Iran, which is unchanged since last month.

This has emerged even as Americans remained laser focused on the economy, inflation and how those forces could impact their lives. Hitting close to home were high grocery and gas prices, escalating housing costs and job cuts.

The number of Americans filing for unemployment benefits inched up last week but remains within the historically healthy range of recent years.

U.S. jobless aid applications for the week ending April 18 rose by 6,000 to 214,000, up from the previous week’s 208,000, the Labor Department reported Thursday. That’s slightly more than the 210,000 new applications analysts surveyed by the data firm FactSet were expecting.

Filings for unemployment benefits are considered a proxy for U.S. layoffs and are close to a real-time indicator of the health of the job market.
