Majority of Americans Unhappy with Trump Handling of Economy – breitbart.com
A poll shows that a majority of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy in its current state.
Surveying 1,462 likely voters between January 27 and 30, the NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that only 36 percent of those surveyed approved of the president’s handling of the economy, versus 59 percent who disapproved. In the month of December, the president’s disapproval for handling the economy stood at 57 percent.
“With about nine months until the midterms, the president is facing growing concerns on the economy,” noted the Hill. “More than half of respondents to the poll said the White House should primarily focus on lowering prices, including nearly 6 in 10 independents.”
Inflation under Trump did, however, decline from three percent in January 2025 to 2.7 percent in December 2025, with the price of being “up 3.1 percent year-over-year in December, after being up 2.5 percent in January 2025.”
