More than half of the respondents in a survey released Wednesday say they disapprove of President Trumpâs handle on the economy.
The CNN poll found that 56 percent of respondents disapprove of the way Trump has handled the economy since returning to office, while 44 percent say they approve, and 1 percent say they donât have an opinion on the matter.
The results are statistically similar to survey respondentsâ general approval of the way Trump is handling his job as president, with 54 percent disapproving, 45 percent approving and 1 percent saying they are not sure, the survey shows.
Among self-identifying Republicans and 2024 Trump voters, however, support for the president overall eclipses support of his handling of the economy.
While 92 percent of Republicans say they approve of Trumpâs handling of the presidency overall, 88 percent say the same about his handle on the economy. Similarly, 91 percent of Trumpâs 2024 voters say they support the work heâs done in his second term so far, but 87 percent approve of his economic moves.
The survey comes as Trump faces criticism for his tariff policies and as the stock market has seen significant dips amid concerns of a recession.
