‘He said Make America Great Again. And I have not seen him do that’: Only 17% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of cost of living
“I was hoping it would be better or different, but it’s not really good," said Robert Gault, 66, a retired factory worker from Bradford, Pennsylvania, who describes himself as a Republican.
A new poll indicates that only 17% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the cost of living, with a significant drop from 34% in March 2025. Just 26% approve of his overall handling of the economy, marking a new low. The majority, 65%, blame Trump's policies for the persistently high costs. The poll comes as Trump ramps up his campaign efforts, with his approval on the economy dropping 14 percentage points since just after his re-election.
Many Americans are deeply frustrated with his performance, with 70% of them saying his handling of the cost of living has been "worse than expected."
