More than half of U.S. adults say they approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing in his first month in office, according to a CBS News/YouGov poll published Sunday.

The poll, conducted Wednesday through Friday of last week, showed Trump had a 53% approval rating. The poll of 2,175 adults had a margin of error of 2.5 percentage points.

But despite enjoying a typical post-election honeymoon, many of those surveyed expressed concern that Trump wasn’t doing enough to lower consumer prices, and solid majorities oppose his plans to place tariffs on Mexico, Canada and Europe.

Two-thirds, or 66%, of people in the U.S. say his administration has not focused enough on lowering prices, according to the poll. That includes almost half of Republicans surveyed.
