President Donald Trump is registering the worst economic approval numbers of his presidential career in the middle of a broad discrete in his management of rates, inflation and government spending, according to the latest economic survey of CNBC All-america.
The survey found that the impulse in economic optimism that accompanied Trump’s elections in 2024 has disappeared, with more Americans who now believe that the economy will be used that at any time since 2023 and with an acute towards pessimism.
The survey of 1,000 Americans throughout the country showed a 44% approval of Trump’s handling of the presidency and 51% disapproval, slightly better than the final reading of CNBC when the president left the position in 2020. However, in the economy, the survey showed Trump with an approval of 43% and 55% disapproval, the first time in any survey of CNBC It has negative in the president.
Trump’s republican base remains solidly behind him, but the Democrats, with -90 net economic approval, are 30 more negative points than his first average term of DOI, and the independents are more negative points. Blue neck workers, who were key to the president’s electoral victory, remain positive in the management of the economy by Trump, but their disapproval numbers have shot in 14 points compared to their average for their first mandate.
“Donald Trump was specifically re -elected to improve the economy, and so far, people do not like what they are seeing,” said Jay Campbell, partner of Hart Associates, the democratic polls of the survey.
The survey was conducted from April 9 to 13 and has a margin of error or +/- 3.1%.
The results show that Trump so far has a leg capable of convincing only to its basis that its economic policies will be good for the country until point of time: 49% of the public believes that the economy will get worse during the next year, the most pessimistic whose kisses of the Ethvublic’s seal are the beevleans dated. Improvement. But 83% of the Democrats and 54% of the independents see that the economy worsens. Among those who believe that president’s policies will have a positive impact, 27% say it will have a year or more. However, 40% of those who are negative about president’s policies say they are hurting the economy now.
“We are in a turbulent change, child or maelstrom when it comes to how people feel what will happen,” said Micah Roberts, associated with public opinion strategies, republican pollsters of the survey. “The data … suggest more than is the negative partisan reaction that is promoting and sustaining discontent and restlessness about what comes next.”
While partisanship is the most important part of the president’s negative action, it loses it some support among Republicans in key areas such as tariffs and inflation, and has seen a notable deterioration among independents.
The appearance of the rate is a substantial part of the discontent of the general public. Americans disapprove of rates through a margin of 49 to 35, and Majorios believe they are bad for US workers, inflation and economy in general. Democrats give tariffs a thumb down by a margin of 83 points and independent by 26 points. Republicans approve rates by a differential of 59 points-20 points below their net approval of 79% of the president.
The great majorities of Americans see Canada, Mexico, the European Union and Japan as a cheaper opportunity for the United States instead of an economic threat. In fact, everyone looks more favorably than when CNBC asked Trump’s first mandate. The data suggest that the public, including most Republicans, do not adopt the antipathy that the president has expressed towards those commercial partners. However, in China, the public sees it as a threat in a margin of 44% to 35%, worse substantial than when CNBC asked the last question in 2019.
The president’s sausage numbers arise in their inflation management, which the public disapproves by a margin of 37% to 60%, including strong net negatives of the Democrats and independent. But with 58%, it is the lowest positive approach to Republicans for any of the problems asked about the president. The fifty -seven percent of the public believes that we will be, or we are currently in a recession, compared to only 40% in March 2024. The figure includes the 12% who thinks that the recession has already begun.
The public also disapproves the management of the president of the federal government spending by 45% to 51% and foreign policy in a 42% margin to 53%.
The best Trump numbers arise from immigration, where its management of the southern border is approved by a margin of 53% to 41%, and the deportation of illegal immigrants is approved from 52% to 45%. The president achieved a slight majority of the support of the independents in deportations and 22% of the support of the Democrats on the southern border. Although it is still modest, it is the best performance problem for Trump among the Democrats.
Meanwhile, Americans have become more negative in the stock market market than in two years. About 53% say it is a bad time to invest, and only 38% say it is a good time. The numbers represent a strong change in the optimism of the stock market that greeted the president’s elections. In fact, the December survey represented the strongest change towards market optimism in the 17 years of history of the survey and the April survey is the strongest turn towards pessimism.
The president’s problems with his approach rating do not seem to translate significant potential for the Democrats for now. When asked about the preference of Congress, 48% of public support Democratic control and 46% support republican control, barely changed the CNBC survey in March 2022.
