The survey, conducted from March 6-10 among 1,198 respondents, indicated that a staggering 54 percent disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy, reflecting a notable dip in sentiment. This is exacerbated by trade tensions, particularly the introduction of a 25 percent tariff on goods from Mexico and Canada.
