Donald Trump is posting the worst inflation disapproval rating of any US president at this stage of their presidency, outpacing both Jimmy Carter and Joe Biden, according to a new CNN poll that sent the network's chief data analyst on air to declare the figures a 'disaster.'
The CNN/SSRS survey, conducted between 26 and 30 March 2026 on a random national sample of 1,201 adults, found Trump's approval rating on the economy at 31%, an all-time low for him across both presidential terms.
