Trump’s approval rating on the economy sinks to just 32%, and even Republicans feel like they need ‘to get a loan before I go grocery shopping’

That’s down from 40% at the start of his second term, and marks a shift from his first presidential term when the economy was a stronger issue for Trump.

Trump’s approval rating on the economy sinks to just 32%, and even Republicans feel like they need ‘to get a loan before I go grocery shopping’

President Donald Trump's approval rating on the economy has plummeted to 32%, with even Republicans feeling they need "to get a loan before I go grocery shopping," according to a new AP-NORC poll. Despite immigration remaining a stronger issue, Trump's approval on the economy has declined from 40% at the start of his second term.

Republicans, however, remain more optimistic, with 69% approving of his handling of the economy, slightly below the 78% approval in the beginning of his second term. Trump's overall popularity has fallen since he took office, but the recent aggressive immigration enforcement has had a muted impact on his public standing.
