WSJ Poll: Economic Optimism Surges 11 Points Under Trump, Recent Record
A new Wall Street Journal poll released today reveals a striking 11-point surge in the number of Americans who rate the U.S. economy as "excellent" or "good," the most positive outlook recorded in Journal surveys since 2021.
This surge in economic optimism appears to be giving President Donald Trump a critical boost in his political standing — even as voters voice concerns with key aspects of his domestic and trade agenda.
According to the poll, 47% of registered voters now view the economy in positive terms, up from just 36% in April.
This shift marks a significant break in a yearslong trend of economic pessimism that has defined much of the post-pandemic era.
Meanwhile, the percentage of respondents who rated the economy as "not good" or "poor" dropped to 51%, a substantial improvement from 63% just three months ago.
