A new poll shows a majority of voters now disapprove President Donald Trump's handling of the economy for the first time since his inauguration, while his overall approval rating hit a record-low for his current term.

The latest Morning Consult Pro survey showed that Trump currently has a 47% approval rating and 51% disapproval rating, while 47% of respondents say they disliked Trump's handling of the economy so far, the lowest of any point since his January inauguration, and 46% said they approved of it, giving him a -1 rating. An estimated 22% of voters said they heard something positive about the economy this year while 47% said they heard something negative, with respondents more likely to disapprove the handling of the economy than any point during the current administration.

The poll sampled 2,210 registered voters between March 21 and March 23 and found that the economy was now tied with abortion, education and Medicare and Social Security as Trump's lowest-performing issues among the 13 categories asked about. Immigration and national security were the president's highest-performing issues at 53% and 51% approval, respectively.

Several polls have shown conflicting views on Trump's presidency thus far. Earlier this week,

Trump's approval rating in the latest FOX News poll was reported to be 49% overall, matching his highest all-time rating. The president had previously scored a 49% overall job performance in April 2020 during his first term in office.

Last week, CNN polling guru Harry Enten reported that Trump's net approval rating was reported to be negative 2 percentage points in February, once again becoming the only president to have a net approval rating in the negatives since 1937. The president was reported to have a plus 7 net approval rating in January and had previously dipped below zero during his first term as president in 2017.

Enten claimed that Trump had negative approval ratings on every major issue excluding immigration.

Trump is reported to have a 47.3% approval rating and a 52.4% disapproval rating, according to AtlasIntel, which has deemed as the "most accurate pollster" during the past two presidential elections. The president's approval rating decreased by 3% in February, its first decline since he took office in January, while his disapproval rating increased by 2.7%. A reported 0.3% said they "don't know" how to view his job thus far, which was a 0.2% increase from the previous month.

Trump's image, however, didn't register a decline as both he and Vice President J.D. Vance were viewed as 51% positive when AtlasIntel asked respondents about their personal image.
