Americans Hold Negative View of Trump’s Economic Record

BlockBeats News, March 13th, according to a recent survey conducted by CNN and SSRS, Americans are dissatisfied with Trump's economic management, putting him at a disadvantage in addressing America's most important issues. As the market declines, investors are worried about Trump's trade policies, with 56% of the public disapproving of his handling of the economy, worse than at any time during his first term.

In contrast, 51% now say they approve of his work on immigration, mainly due to stricter enforcement, which is 7 percentage points higher than at any time during his first term.

So far, Americans have a serious division in their views on Trump's handling of the federal budget and managing the federal government — 48% approve, while about half disapprove — and have lower ratings of his work on healthcare policy (43%), foreign affairs (42%), and tariffs (39%). Currently, Trump's overall job approval rating is 45%, disapproval rating is 54%, consistent with the numbers he saw in March 2017, and equal to his highest approval rating in his first term.
