Trump\u2019s approval among Democrats reached 4 percent in December, down from 9 percent at the start of the new term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trump\u2019s approval among independents also saw a decline since January: 26 percent of respondents in December approved of the president\u2019s grasp on the economy, down from 44 percent in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Americans were also mostly unhappy with Trump\u2019s handling of the economy \u2014 33 percent said they approve. The poll also found that 22 percent of Americans said they feel that the \u201cEconomy, unemployment and jobs,\u201d classified by Reuters\/Ipsos as one category, is the most important problem facing the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Behind that, Americans saw \u201cPolitical extremism or threats to democracy\u201d as the second-most important problem facing the U.S., at 16 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reuters\/Ipsos\u2019s lowest approval rating for Trump was at 38 percent in mid-November. Earlier in December, it was at 41 percent \u2014 6 percentage points down from his approval rating when he returned to the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The president is expected to deliver a national address to sell his agenda to the American people Wednesday, even as the country has a poor outlook on the economy. Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.) said the president should focus on affordability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLook, I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to highlight the work that the administration and Congress have done throughout the course of this year,\u201d Lawler said while on CNN\u2019s \u201cInside Politics\u201d Wednesday. \u201cBut the focus has to be on affordability from housing, where we\u2019re 8.5 million units underbuilt, to health care, where premiums continue to rise because ObamaCare failed, to energy prices, we\u2019re working on permitting reform and how we can bring down energy costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Reuters\/Ipsos poll was conducted Dec. 12-15 and included 1,016 respondents.
