WASHINGTON –
U.S. President Donald Trump’s approval rating held at 40% in recent weeks, matching the lowest level of his current term, amid weak ratings from Hispanic voters, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll that closed on Monday.
The six-day poll was conducted as economic data showed signs the U.S. labor market is weakening and as Trump oversees a sweeping immigration crackdown, while at the same time the Republican has been engaged in intense diplomacy to end a war between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump’s approval rating was unchanged from a late July Reuters/Ipsos poll, but has dropped 7 percentage points since his first days back in the White House in January, when 47% of Americans gave him a thumbs-up.
