As the COVID-19 pandemic hits the U.S. and President Donald Trump’s impeachment acquittal becomes a distant memory for Americans, his 44% job approval rating is down five percentage points, and back to where it was before the Senate acquitted him on the House’s impeachment charges.

The latest reading is from Gallup’s March 2-13 poll, which was conducted as the novel coronavirus spread throughout the U.S., eventually leading to international travel restrictions, the cancellation of major U.S. events and widespread school closures. The magnitude of the COVID-19 crisis in the U.S. quickly evolved over the poll’s field period, and Americans’ (particularly Democrats’ and independents’) concern about it increased sharply. The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded historic declines in the past two weeks.

The president’s approval rating has been elevated due to higher ratings from Republicans and independents since it was clear that he was going to be acquitted in his impeachment trial in the U.S. Senate. While Trump’s approval rating among Republicans (91%) and Democrats (7%) remains stable, independents’ approval fell seven points in the last two weeks to 35%.
