ME News Message, December 24th (UTC+8), a recent Gallup poll shows that among more than a dozen American leaders, Federal Reserve Chairman Powell is the most popular. The poll indicates that over 40% of respondents approve of Powell's performance, including 46% of Democrats, 34% of Republicans, and 49% of independents. Despite repeated conflicts with Powell during Trump's first year back in the White House, Powell's approval ratings remain relatively high. Earlier this year, Trump criticized Powell multiple times for not lowering interest rates earlier or more aggressively. (Source: ME)
