Survey: Trump's Approval Rating in the Economic Sector Drops to Its Lowest Level Since His Presidency

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

The survey indicates that the economic optimism that accompanied Trump's reelection campaign has vanished, and the proportion of Americans who believe the economy will worsen has reached its highest level since 2023. Additionally, there has been a noticeable pessimistic shift in views on the U.S. stock market.

The survey, which polled 1,000 Americans nationwide, shows that 44% approve of Trump's overall performance, while 51% disapprove, a figure slightly better than his final approval rating when he left office in 2020. However, in terms of the economy, the survey reveals that only 43% approve of his performance, while 55% disapprove. This marks the first time in CNBC's polling history that Trump's net approval rating on economic issues is negative while serving as president.
