The number of voters who said they disapprove of the job President Trump is doing has ticked up in recent weeks as more people question how the White House is handling the economy.

A new Emerson College poll shows 47% of voters approved of the job Trump was doing while 45% disapproved. The numbers reflect an increase in disapproval rating of 2 points from last week’s numbers, while his approval rating has dropped 1 point.

“As President Trump reaches his first 50 days in office, his approval rating has declined from 49%-41% to 47%-45%, reflecting a nation deeply divided,” Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement. “Despite not yet delivering on the economy in voters’ minds, Trump’s support remains strong. However, the true challenge will be how voters perceive their financial future. While little has shifted since the election, the initial ‘honeymoon phase’ seems to be coming to an end.

“Voters are most supportive of Trump’s immigration policy, but they disapprove of his handling of the economy, believe tariffs will hurt economic growth, and are skeptical of his cryptocurrency policy,” Kimball added.

Trump’s approval ratings are strongest for handling of immigration policy – 48% approval vs. 40% disapproval- while his lowest numbers come from dealing with the economy – 48% disapprove vs. 37% approve.

When it comes to balancing the federal budget – a key element of the Elon Musk-led DOGE cuts – 43% said they approve of Trump’s work compared to 39% who disapproved.

A plurality of voters – 46% – said Trump’s economic policies are making the economy worse while 28% think they are making it better and 26% said they have no effect or it’s too soon to tell. Compared to a year ago, 39% said their family’s finances are worse off, 37% said they are about the same and 24% said they are better off than a year ago.

The Emerson College Polling national survey was conducted March 8-10 among a sample of 1,000 registered voters. It has a margin of error of plus/minus 3 percentage points.
