BlockBeats News, December 24th, a recent Gallup poll shows that among more than a dozen U.S. leaders, Federal Reserve Chair Powell is the most popular. The poll shows that over 40% of respondents approve of Powell's performance, including 46% of Democrats, 34% of Republicans, and 49% of independents. Despite ongoing conflicts with Powell during Trump's first year back in the White House, Powell's approval rating remains relatively high. Earlier this year, Trump criticized Powell several times for not cutting interest rates earlier or more aggressively. (The Hill)
