"A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds President Donald Trump's approval on the economy has fallen to a two-term low of 36 percent, with net ratings that leave him just one point ahead of former President Joe Biden's own worst numbers. Trump rode back into the White House promising to tame inflation and bring down prices, blaming years of Biden economics, but the new poll, released Wednesday, suggests that public patience is wearing thin, even while the president continues to call affordability a hoax."
"Fifty-seven percent of voters now disapprove of his handling of the economy, with independents showing a sharp drop-off in support, according to the findings. The overall difference leaves Trump at -21 for December. Biden's low-water mark came in February 2022 when a 58 percent disapproval rating put him at -22 points on net. More than 6 in 10 Americans say the economy is not working for them personally, while 7 out of 10 describe the cost of living in their location as unaffordable."
President Donald Trump's approval on the economy stands at 36 percent, with 57 percent of voters disapproving and a net rating of -21 in December. More than six in ten Americans say the economy is not working for them personally, and seven in ten call the cost of living in their area unaffordable. Prices are the top financial concern for 45 percent, followed by housing (18 percent), tariffs (15 percent), and job security (10 percent). Seven in ten respondents report expenses that meet or exceed income, with higher strain among non-white, younger, lower-income, and less-educated households.
