Trump’s economic approval rating hits record low
- Donald Trump’s economic approval rating has fallen to a record low of 33 percent, dropping below Joe Biden’s lowest point, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist survey.
- The decline in approval is largely linked to the recent conflict with Iran, which caused fuel prices to soar and inflation to tick up.
- Despite the negative poll numbers, Trump asserted on Truth Social that the economy is strong, with oil flowing, stock markets roaring and prices dropping after signing a peace deal with Iran.
- The Marist poll also revealed that 34 percent of Americans describe gas prices as a “major strain,” and 45 percent are skipping summer vacations due to financial concerns.
- The peace deal with Iran, which includes commitments against nuclear weapons and U.S. aid for Iran’s economic development, has faced criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for its perceived concessions.
