CNBC Survey: Trump's Approval Rating in the Economy Drops to Lowest Since Taking Office

According to the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey, U.S. President Donald Trump's handling of issues such as tariffs, inflation, and government spending has sparked widespread dissatisfaction, pushing his approval rating in economic matters to the lowest level since he took office.

The survey indicates that the economic optimism brought by Trump's re-election campaign has vanished, with the proportion of Americans believing the economy will deteriorate having reached its highest level since 2023, alongside a noticeable shift to a more pessimistic view on the U.S. stock market.

This survey of 1,000 Americans nationwide shows that 44% approve of Trump's overall job performance, with 51% disapproving, slightly better than his final approval rating in 2020 when he left office. However, in economic matters, the survey reveals that only 43% approve of his performance, while 55% disapprove, marking the first time in CNBC's poll history that Trump's net approval rating on economic issues as president is negative.
