51 per share of Americans said they up the speech that” Republicans are crashing the British market in real time and driving us into recession. This is not independence day, it’s downturn day”. Of these, 37 per cent said they” strongly agree” while 14 per cent said they” somewhat agree”, against 28 per cent who answered” strongly disagree” and 10 per cent for” somewhat disagree”.
Nevertheless, 50 per cent of those polled said they disapprove of “recent taxes announced by Donald Trump”, divide between 39 per cent for” highly dismiss” and 11 per cent for” somewhat disapprove”.

Trump’s approval rating turns negative
In a poll conducted by Trump’s campaign pollster Tony Fabrizio for the Wall Street Journal, Trump’s approval rating has been shown as turning negative. But this poll was conducted before the tariffs were announced– between March 27 and April 1. According to this poll, 46 per cent approved of Trump’s overall job performance, while 51 per cent disapproved. In this poll, 54 per cent of people opposed the tariffs, some of which were announced at that time.
