President Trump lashed out Tuesday at what he called a Fake Poll that shows his job approval numbers dropping by 6 points over the last two months as fears of an economic recession have risen.
The ABC News/Washington Post poll that angered the president found that 60 percent of Americans surveyed now believe a recession is likely in the next year. That same percentage of Americans is also concerned that Trumps trade war with China will raise prices on consumer goods in the U.S.
That economic anxiety has helped push Trumps job approval numbers down from 44 percent in July to just 38 percent in September, the poll found.
The president wasted little time disputing the polls results.

But two other polls released Tuesday confirmed the downward trend. Both Gallup and CNN found Trumps approval rating to be at 39 percent.
