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.
