Support For Trump Surges?
President Donald J. Trump’s approval rating has risen to 44%, according to the latest Reuters/Ipsos national poll — a sign that more Americans are responding positively to his strong leadership on trade and the economy.
This marks a two-point rise from last month’s numbers and coincides with major developments that are sparking new financial confidence across the country.
Tariff Relief Spurs Market Rally
After months of economic tension, President Trump’s decision to pause the trade conflict with China has proven effective. Both nations have scaled back heavy tariffs, offering relief for American businesses and consumers already managing inflation.
In response, the Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped more than 1,000 points — a clear vote of confidence from Wall Street. The rebound wiped out previous market losses tied to the administration’s “Liberation Day” tariff announcements.
America-First Trade Deals Strengthen Global Standing
President Trump also secured a new free trade agreement with the United Kingdom, marking another win for American workers, small business owners, and retirees invested in the market. He has since paused the remaining Liberation Day tariffs, reducing fears of recession and paving the way for stronger economic growth in 2025.
Public Concern About a Recession Drops
The improved market conditions seem to be restoring public faith. According to the Reuters/Ipsos survey:
- Only 69% of Americans say they’re worried about a recession, down from 76% in April.
- Concern about stock market volatility has also declined, with 60% expressing worry, compared to 67% last month.
These figures suggest a clear shift: more Americans are beginning to see hope for their retirement accounts, savings plans, and long-term investments.
Trump’s Economic Approval Rebounds
Although mainstream media continues to downplay President Trump’s achievements, his approval rating on economic issues has climbed to 39% — up 3 points from April.
For older Americans nearing or enjoying retirement, this matters. A stable market and smart trade policy directly impact Social Security security, retirement portfolios, and healthcare affordability — key issues for voters aged 50 and up.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,163 U.S. adults and has a margin of error of ±3 percentage points.
🔎 Why This Matters
While liberal pundits criticize, the numbers speak for themselves. President Trump’s bold economic strategy is starting to pay dividends for American families, retirees, and investors alike.
With smart moves on trade, a rising stock market, and improving public confidence, the momentum is clearly building toward a stronger, safer American economy.
