President Donald Trump's approval rating for his handling of the economy is reported to have dropped to a new all-time low, according to a recent poll conducted by The Economist/YouGov.

Trump is reported to have a -22 net approval rating for his economic approach, with 35% approving and 57% disapproving, a drop from the -17 net reported in a poll released by The Economist/YouGov last week. The president had previously had a -9 net approval rating for his handling of the economy this far into his first term in 2021.

Trump is also reported to have a split approval rating among the 50 U.S. states, according to a poll conducted by Morning Consult earlier this month. The president has a positive net approval rating in 25 states, which is two less than in August, having dropped below zero in North Carolina and Nevada.

Trump is reported to have his greatest support in Wyoming at a 62% approval rating; Idaho at 60% approval; West Virginia at 60% approval; South Dakota at 60% approval; and Alabama at 59% approval. Georgia is the only swing state to remain positive, while Arizona is reported to now break even.

Tennessee, which is the next state the president vowed to deploy National Guard troops, has a 58% approval rating, while Illinois, a state Trump has commonly mentioned as a potential location for increased policing, has a 55% disapproval rating, which is the 11th-worst among all U.S. states. Overall, Trump was reported to have a 45% approval rating and a 52% disapproval rating in the Morning Consult poll, which was conducted among 2,201 registered voters from September 6 to September 8.

Last week, Trump's approval rating for his handling of the economy was reported to see a negative turn, according to the Reuters/Ipsos poll. A majority 53% of American disapprove Trump's handling of the economy, while 36% approved and only 30% of respondents said they were in favor of the president's handling of the cost of living for U.S. households.

CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten also reported that Trump's approval rating among American voters "remains underwater" during a live newscast last week. Enten showed that Trump's net approval rating was at -12 points, according to CBS News, and -14 points, according to NBC News.

"You can go to a different network but it's the exact same story," Enten said to anchor Jessica Dean during a live newscast.

"Double digits on this, this has been the story throughout much of the Trump presidency. He remains under water as we get past Labor Day, Jessica," Enten added.

Trump's net approval rating has reportedly been negative since March 12, according to Enten.

"Every single day in my aggregated polls since March 12, since March 12. In terms of number of days, 180 days in a row he has been underwater. That is basically half a year," he added.
