Survey: Trump's approval rating in the economic field has dropped to its lowest level since he took office as president

ChainCatcher news, according to the latest CNBC nationwide economic survey, U.S. President Donald Trump’s handling of issues such as tariffs, inflation, and government spending has sparked widespread dissatisfaction, and his support rate on economic matters has fallen to the lowest level since he took office.

The survey shows that the economic optimism brought about by Trump’s re-election campaign has disappeared, with the proportion of Americans believing the economy will worsen reaching the highest level since 2023, and there has also been a noticeable shift to pessimism regarding U.S. stocks.

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