Trump is Now Less Popular Than Biden On The Economy, a New Poll Shows
What happened
A survey conducted by the Associated Press-NORC had 26% of Americans approving of President Trump's handling of the economy, which is lower than former President Biden's 28% approval rating on the issue in 2022. The majority of respondents, 65%, blame the president and his policies for higher-than-usual prices, while 69% are disappointed with his handling of cost-of-living issues. Most people, 61%, believe the economy is worse off now than when Trump took office.
Why it matters
Public perception of President Trump's economic performance is significant as it may impact his approval ratings and the 2024 presidential election. The survey's findings align with other polls suggesting Trump's approval rating on the economy is headed in the wrong direction. Americans' dissatisfaction with the economy may be a key issue in the upcoming election.
