Trump’s economic approval ratings are currently low — only about 36–39% of Americans approve of his handling of the economy, while roughly 60–64% disapprove. Polls show that inflation and affordability concerns are driving much of this negative sentiment www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-new-poll-inflation-economy-11098375

Key Polling Numbers (November 2025)​

• CBS News/YouGov poll (Nov. 19–21):
  
  • 36% approve of Trump’s handling of the economy.
  • 64% disapprove, his lowest economic approval of the term.
  • Among independents, 76% disapprove, a sharp drop from March.
• Fox News national survey (Nov. 14–17):
  
  • 41% approve overall job performance, 58% disapprove.
  • 76% of voters view the economy negatively, worse than at the end of Biden’s presidency.
• Economist/YouGov poll:
  
  • Trump’s overall approval at 39%, disapproval at 58%, net -19 points.
• Marquette poll:
  
  • On inflation specifically, Trump is upside down 28% approve vs. 72% disapprove.

Voter Concerns​

• Inflation & affordability:
  
  • 65% of respondents say Trump’s policies are making grocery prices rise.
  • 77% believe he is not devoting enough time to inflation and the economy.
• Tariffs & trade: Many voters blame his tariff policies for higher consumer costs.
• Personal finances: 60% of voters rate their household finances as “fair/poor,” with lower-income groups reporting the most pain.

Context​

• Trump campaigned on promises to lower inflation and boost wages, but public perception has soured as costs remain high.
• His approval on the economy has fallen 15 points since March 2025, a sharper decline than his overall job approval.
• Republicans remain supportive (about 81–86% approval), but independents and Democrats overwhelmingly disapprove.

In short: Trump’s economic approval has eroded significantly in 2025, with inflation and affordability dominating voter concerns. His support among independents has collapsed, and even Republican approval has slipped slightly, leaving him with some of the weakest economic ratings of his presidency.

It goes up and down, just as it always has, but be it up or down, Americans’ view of Trump’s handling the economy is in the toilet

The numbers are what he says. He destroyed the agencies that report inflation and job numbers.
