President Donald Trump is facing the worst economic approval numbers of his presidential career, with discontent over his handling of tariffs, inflation, and government spending. The latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey found that economic optimism surrounding his re-election has vanished, with more Americans now believing the economy will worsen. Trump’s approval rating on the economy is negative for the first time, with 55% disapproving. While Trump’s Republican base remains supportive, Democrats and independents are increasingly negative.
The survey also highlighted public dissatisfaction with tariffs, with a majority believing they are bad for American workers, inflation, and the overall economy. Trump’s handling of inflation and federal government spending also received negative ratings. On the positive side, Trump was rated favorably on immigration and the deportation of undocumented immigrants.
The public’s view on the stock market has also taken a negative turn in recent years, with a majority believing it is a bad time to invest. Despite Trump’s declining approval ratings, there has been no significant shift in support towards Democrats in terms of congressional preference.
Overall, the survey suggests growing discontent with Trump’s economic policies among Democrats and independents. While Republicans are still largely behind him, there are signs of erosion in certain key areas. The public views several trading partners positively, apart from China, suggesting that Trump’s tough stance on trade may not be resonating with the public.
