US President Donald Trump’s approval rating has hit a new low, with only 39% of Americans approving of his job performance, according to a recent poll. This comes as the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo a global health emergency.
The poll, which was conducted by a leading research firm, found that Trump’s approval rating has been steadily declining over the past few months, with a significant drop in recent weeks. The decline is attributed to various factors, including the ongoing trade war with China and the recent mass shootings in the US.
Trump’s Approval Rating: A Closer Look
The latest poll results show that Trump’s approval rating is at its lowest point since he took office. The rating is based on a survey of over 1,000 adults, with a margin of error of +/- 3%. The results are as follows:
- 39% of Americans approve of Trump’s job performance
- 55% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s job performance
- 6% of Americans are undecided
The decline in Trump’s approval rating is not surprising, given the current state of affairs in the US. The trade war with China has led to increased tariffs and economic uncertainty, while the recent mass shootings have raised concerns about gun control and public safety.
Impact on South Africans
While the decline in Trump’s approval rating may not have a direct impact on South Africans, it could have implications for the global economy. As the US is a major trading partner for many countries, including South Africa, any economic instability in the US could have a ripple effect on the global economy.
