Voters disapprove of Trump's economic policies, polls show
Briefly

Recent polls reveal a decline in approval ratings for President Trump, with only 45% approval per a CNN/SSRS poll. Disapproval is noted particularly concerning economic handling, tariffs, and budget management. Emerson College's survey indicates a further decline in approval ratings, hinting that Trump's honeymoon phase may be over. Small business owners express concerns about the economic impact of Trump's tariffs, contributing to uncertainty, as evidenced by rising price adjustments and lowered revenue forecasts from major airlines.
Even more bruising, 56% of voters disapproved of Trump's handling of the economy - higher than at any point during his first term, per CNN.
Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling, said in a statement that the poll results showed Trump's 'initial 'honeymoon phase' seems to be coming to an end.'
The ramifications of Trump's policies are already rippling outwards and impacting businesses and communities.
Delta, Southwest and American airlines all warned this week that their first-quarter revenue or earnings forecasts will fall below expectations due to weaker consumer demand.
