President Donald Trump was reelected, in large part, because voters trusted he would improve the economy. Now public confidence in Trump's economic plan is slipping.
In April 2025, an NPR/PBS News/Marist poll found that 55 percent of Americans disapproved of how Trump was handling the economy, while only 39 percent approved. The latest edition of the poll, published Thursday, found that 59 percent of Americans now disapprove of Trump's economic policies, and 56 percent say his tariffs hurt the economy. The data are even more telling when broken down by partisan and educational demographics.
