Trump Economic Approval Hits Career Low Amid Inflation

Public approval of Donald Trump's handling of the U.S. economy has declined significantly, with recent national polls showing widespread dissatisfaction. A CNN poll conducted by SSRS reports that the president's economic approval has dropped to a career low of 31%, indicating a notable erosion of support even among Republicans.

A Harvard CAPS/Harris survey found that 53% of Americans believe the economy has deteriorated compared to the administration of Joe Biden, while 62% of respondents specifically blame Trump for current conditions. Overall, 75% of Americans describe the economy as being in poor shape, primarily driven by inflation and gasoline prices reaching $4 per gallon.

These economic pressures are compounded by global instability and an ongoing war in Iran, which experts warn could trigger a recession. The White House continues to focus on tax cuts, deregulation, and expanding energy production to counter the decline. Kush Desai, acting as White House spokesman, defended the administration's record by characterizing the current economic pressures as "short-term disruptions."
