President Trump is seeing his economic approval ratings reach a new low as a significant majority of Americans express frustration with the current state of the nation. According to a recent poll from the AP/NORC Research Center, which was published Thursday, 73 percent of U.S. adults now disapprove of the way the president is handling the economy.
The data reveals that 65 percent of adults directly blame the president’s policies for the high prices they are seeing at the register, viewing these policies as a bigger factor than other economic drivers. The public sentiment has clearly shifted quite a bit, as the poll noted that approval of his economic agenda has dropped 14 percentage points since March 2025. When you look at the numbers, only 26 percent of respondents approve of his overall handling of the economy, and just 17 percent approve of his response to the rising cost of living.
