Trump’s Approval Rating Rises Amid Easing Recession Fears
President Trump’s approval rating has climbed to 44%, marking a two-point increase from the previous survey in late April. His economic approval also saw a modest uptick, rising to 39% from 36%. The improvement follows a period of heightened trade tensions, particularly with China, which had weighed heavily on market sentiment.
Recent tariff reductions have provided relief, with the S&P 500 rebounding 17% from its lows during Trump’s second term. The shift in trade policy has alleviated some recession concerns, though lingering uncertainties remain.
