WASHINGTON, Feb 19 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's approval rating has ticked slightly lower in recent days as more Americans worried about the direction of the U.S. economy as the new leader threatens a host of countries with tariffs, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found.

The six-day poll, which closed on Tuesday, showed 44% of respondents approved of the job Trump is doing as president, down from 45% in a Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted January 24-26. Trump's approval rating stood at 47% in a January 20-21 poll conducted in the hours after the Republican's return to the White House.

The share of Americans who disapprove of his presidency has risen more substantially, to 51% in the latest poll, compared with 41% right after he took office.

But the share of Americans who think the economy is on the wrong track rose to 53% in the latest poll from 43% in the January 24-26 poll. Public approval of Trump's economic stewardship fell to 39% from 43% in the prior poll.

3. He's already saying he can't fix inflation

So why did these bozos hire him? His mandate is all a mirage

5. Still way too high from my POV.

Of course he never should have been elected in 2016 either. Shameful and embarrassing.

6. It's going to fall even more precipitously when

folks get hit by a wall of Musk/Trump dystopian nastiness.
Within the next few weeks/months.....

This is huge!

Trump is ramming his agenda through now so he can’t be stopped later—shock and awe. But look at these approval numbers—he’s underwater on our major issues.

Public opinion is against Trump and his policies, and his approval rating is historically low. It’s only going to get worse… MUCH worse.
