In April, the company Atlas Intel conducted a survey that revealed a decline in support for U.S. President Donald Trump. The study, referenced by "Newsweek," was conducted from April 10th to 14th on a sample of 2,347 adult Americans. The results show that 52% of respondents disapprove of Trump's actions since he took office, and 56% believe he is doing a "terrible/very poor" job with the economy.

One of the main reasons for the decline in support is Trump's trade policy, under which he imposed tariffs on many countries. As many as 51% of Americans oppose these actions, while only 23% support them.

Compared to March, when 48% of respondents criticized his economic policy, this figure has now risen to 56%. This percentage of respondents claims that Trump is doing a "terrible/ very poor" job with the economy.

The issue of immigration has also contributed to the decline in support for Trump. In April, his immigration policy recorded negative support at a minus six-point level, which is a change compared to March when the rating was positive. Nonetheless, as noted by Andrei Roman, Atlas Intel's CEO, immigration remains the highest-rated area of Trump's policy, although it is currently slightly below the line.

Atlas Intel, a company based in São Paulo, specializes in market research and data analysis. It is considered one of the most accurate polling agencies in the U.S.
