Trump’s 15% EU tariff could raise prices for cars, drugs and luxury goods
President Donald Trump’s trade deal with the EU could raise prices for cars, medicines and luxury goods.
WASHINGTON, July 29 (Reuters) – President Donald Trump’s approval rate has dropped by 1 percentage point to 40% as Americans continue to be concerned about the economy and handling of immigrants.
A three-day poll that closed Monday looked at 1,023 US adults nationwide with a 3 percentage point error. It shows a deeply polarized country against Trump, with 83% of Republicans and just 3% of Democrats who approve his performance. Approximately a third of independents have been approved.
Trump had a 41% approval rate in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll conducted on July 15th and 16th.
Republicans campaigned on promises to recharge the US economy and crack down on immigration, and polls found that Americans gave him complicated marks in both areas where his administration uses aggressive tactics.
Approximately 38% of respondents approved Trump’s economic handling after 35% approved in a poll in mid-July. His number has risen slightly with immigration, with 43% of respondents endorsing, with 41% in previous polls.
All shifts were within the margin of voting errors.
