Trump's approval rating rises to 44%; Americans worry less about recession
- Reuters/Ipsos surveyed 1,163 Americans from May 12-13, 2025, showing President Trump's approval rating rose to 44%.
- This increase followed a previous Reuters poll at the end of April when approval was lower amidst higher recession concerns.
- The poll indicated that 69% of respondents are currently worried that the economy may enter a recession, a decrease from 76% in mid-April, while concerns regarding the stock market dropped from 67% to 60%.
- The survey's results had a margin of error of ±3 percentage points, and the rise in approval ratings has reduced the difference between those who approve and those who disapprove.
- This rise in approval coincides with eased trade tensions and lessened economic worries, suggesting potential improvement in public sentiment toward Trump’s leadership.
