President<\/strong> Trump\u2019s approval rating goes negative with Republican Pollster for first time<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

NEW YORK:\u00a0 President Donald Trump\u2019s approval rating has turned negative for the first time in a poll conducted by a Republican-leaning firm that coincided\u00a0 with big protests across the United States against his policies as the latest round of tariffs took effect Saturday.<\/p>\n

Analysts said a shift in Trump\u2019s numbers could influence support from Republican lawmakers, affect his ability to push through his agenda and shape the political landscape, heading into the midterm election cycle.<\/p>\n

According to Rasmussen\u2019s daily poll tracker, as of April 4, Trump\u2019s approval rating sits at 49 percent, while 50 percent disapprove of his job performance.<\/p>\n

That is the first time in Trump\u2019s second term that Rasmussen\u2019s tracker has shown the president with a net negative approval rating. Rasmussen is generally considered as a Republican-leaning pollster.<\/p>\n

Many polls have shown the president\u2019s approval rating on the decline in recent days.<\/p>\n

According to Newsweek, the average of the 10 most recently published polls shows that Trump\u2019s approval rating stands at 47 percent, while 49 percent disapprove. That is a decline from early March, when Trump\u2019s approval rating was at 49 percent, while 47 percent disapproved.<\/p>\n

The latest poll by RMG Research, another Republican-leaning pollster, has also shown a decrease in Trump\u2019s approval rating. The most recent poll, conducted between March 26 and April 3 among 3,000 registered voters, showed that Trump\u2019s approval rating stands at 51 percent, while 47 percent disapprove. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 1.8 points.<\/p>\n

In a poll conducted in March by RMG, 52 percent had approved and 45 percent had disapproved.<\/p>\n

The same trend was apparent in the most recent TIPP Insights poll, conducted between March 26 and 28 among 1,452 respondents, which showed that 44 percent approve of Trump, while 45 percent disapprove, giving him a net approval rating of -1. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 points.<\/p>\n

A previous TIPP Insights poll from January showed that Trump\u2019s net approval rating stood at +5 points, with 46 percent approving and 41 percent disapproving.<\/p>\n

A poll conducted by Marquette University Law School between March 17 and March 27 among 1,021 adults also showed that Trump\u2019s approval rating had dropped to 46 percent, while 54 percent said they disapproved. In January, 48 percent approved and 52 percent disapproved. The poll had a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.<\/p>\n

And according to the latest Reuters\/Ipsos poll, conducted between March 31 and April 2 among 1,486 respondents, Trump\u2019s approval rating fell to 43 percent, the lowest since his return to office. Overall, the president was down 2 percentage points from a poll conducted March 21 to 23, and 4 points below the 47 percent approval he had shortly after taking office on January 20. The poll had a margin of error of +\/- 3 percentage points.<\/p>\n

Fears over the state of the economy sprouted in recent weeks in reaction to a number of Trump economic policies, including his new programme of tariffs. Goldman Sachs, a leading global investment banking and securities firm, previously estimated tariffs could push up inflation by 1 percent while squeezing U.S. companies\u2019 profits.<\/p>\n

The Marquette poll showed that 58 percent of adults think tariffs hurt the U.S. economy. The same amount think Trump\u2019s policies will increase inflation.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, protesters across the U.S. took to the streets in a series of \u201cHands Off\u201d demonstrations criticizing Trump\u2019s border enforcement and deportation policies, as well as mass firings under the Department of Government Efficiency.<\/p>\n

In a statement released ahead of the event, organizers said Trump and his billionaire advisor, Elon Musk, have created an unnecessary crisis under the belief that \u201cthis country belongs to them\u201d exclusively.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re taking everything they can get their hands on\u2014our health care, our data, our jobs, our services\u2014and daring the world to stop them,\u201d the organizers said in the statement. This is a crisis, and the time to act is now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Among those who gathered at the National Monument on Saturday was Trump voter Ramesh Boodram, who\u2019s having some regrets as he contemplates possible disruptions to Social Security under the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m a senior citizen,\u201d Boodram said. \u201cHe wants to step in into our Social Security checks. It\u2019s not nice.\u201d<\/p>\n

On her part, White House Assistant Press Secretary Liz Huston said that \u201cPresident Trump\u2019s position is clear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe will always protect Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid for eligible beneficiaries,\u201d she said. \u201cMeanwhile, the Democrats\u2019 stance is giving Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare benefits to illegal aliens, which will bankrupt these programs and crush American seniors.\u201d<\/p>\n
