Trump's Approval Rating Drops to 39%
President Trump's approval rating has dropped to 39%, which is close to the lowest it has been during his current term.
This drop is mainly because people, especially those in his own Republican Party, are not happy with how he is handling the economy and the cost of living.
When he first came back to power in January, his approval rating was higher at 47%.
The survey that found this information was done online with 1,016 people from all over the United States.
Even though most Republicans still support Trump, fewer of them think he is doing a good job with the economy.
Trump had promised to fix the economy, but it has been struggling with high inflation.
The survey had a small margin of error of just three percentage points, which means the results are pretty accurate.
