"CNN data analyst Harry Enten pointed to some new polling to explain that Americans aren't buying President Donald Trump's spin when it comes to the economy. Trump campaigned last year in large part on bringing prices down after inflation spiked to a 40-year high during the Biden administration. However, prices on many staples remain high, thanks partly to the tariffs Trump unilaterally imposed on dozens of countries in April."
"You go back to January, these numbers were pretty split, right? Forty-three percent said wrong track, 36% said right track right when Donald Trump came into office. But look at that. That wrong track number has skyrocketed up to 56% my goodness gracious who say that the country, at least when it comes to the economy, is on the wrong track, and that right track number, Kate Bolduan, has fallen to 29%."
Recent national polling shows a growing majority of Americans view the economy as being on the wrong track, with wrong-track sentiment rising from 43% to 56% while right-track sentiment fell to 29%. Persistent inflation and high prices on staple goods are central drivers of that pessimism. Tariffs imposed in April are identified as a contributing factor to continued elevated prices. Most Americans disapprove of the president's handling of the economy, and the gap between public sentiment and presidential claims of outstanding economic performance has widened to a substantial negative spread.
