Trump's Economic Approval Rating Plummets to New Low

According to a new NPR/Marist poll released on June 18, 2023, Donald Trump's economic approval rating has hit a record low of 33%, with 60% of Americans disapproving of his handling of the economy. This marks the worst economic approval rate Trump has experienced during his presidency.

The nationwide poll, which surveyed 1,340 adults between June 8 and June 11, has a margin of error of 3 percentage points. The poll also reveals that 34% of Americans reported that rising gas prices are a major strain on their finances, leading 45% to skip summer vacations due to costs.

Despite a recent drop in average gas prices, Trump's comments downplaying inflation and the impact of the ongoing Iran conflict appear to be affecting voter sentiment as midterm elections approach. Trump's overall approval rating stands at 39%, the lowest recorded in his administration, with a net job approval rate of around 26%, also a historical low.
