(CNN) A new CNN Poll of Polls finds President Donald Trump's approval rating continuing to trend downward after he reached positive territory last month.
In the new average, 45% approve of the way Trump is handling his job nationwide and 51% disapprove.
The poll of polls includes the five most recent national telephone polls measuring the views of adults or registered voters. His downturn comes with political turmoil over the state of the economy, according to new polling.
Last week, 46% approved of how Trump was handling his job and 49% disapproved, ticking down from late March when he held at 47% approval.
Trump -- whose approval rating has been relatively steady throughout his presidency -- has seen higher-than-average ratings as the coronavirus pandemic swept through the US.
However, after a month of stay-at-home orders and an economic crash, Trump's approval rating has gone from almost net even (-1 in late March), to leaning net negative (-3 last week), and down further in mid-April (-6 now).
A new Gallup poll out on Friday found a record drop in confidence on economic conditions, down from 54% who described the country's economic conditions as being excellent or good in March to 27% in April. Gallup reported this is the largest drop in economic confidence dating back to 1992.
The percentage who call the economy "poor" has more than tripled, rising from 11% to 39%.
About three-quarters (74%) say they think the economy is getting worse right now, up from 47% who felt that way in March and just 33% in February. Only 22% say the economy is getting better right now, and the gap between those who think things are improving vs. those who say it is worsening is the largest it has been since the Great Recession.
And there's been a massive decline in the percentage who say now is a good time to find a quality job. While 68% in January said it was a good time to find a quality job, just 22% feel that way now, the worst read since 2013.
The CNN Poll of Polls is an average of the five most recent non-partisan, live operator, national telephone surveys on Trump's approval rating. All polls were conducted among either adults or registered voters. The Poll of Polls includes: The Gallup poll conducted April 1-14; the Fox News poll conducted April 4-7; the Quinnipiac University poll conducted April 2-6; the CNN poll conducted by SSRS April 3-6; and the Monmouth University poll conducted April 3-7. The poll of polls does not have a margin of sampling error.
The Gallup poll was conducted April 1-14 by telephone among a random sample of 1,017 adults. For results based on the total sample of national adults, the margin of sampling error is 4 percentage points.
