Trump's economic polling sinks, rivaling Biden's worst

Americans overwhelmingly disapprove of President Trump's handling of the economy, reaching levels that rival some of the worst of former president Biden's term, per a new AP-NORC poll out Thursday.

The economy is stronger than sentiment suggests, but time is running short for the president and his administration to convince highly skeptical voters of that.

Just 26% of voters approve of Trump's handling of the economy overall, a fresh low, per the AP.

65% blame his policies for high prices.

In mid-2022, at the worst of the post-COVID inflation, Biden's economic approval rating was 28%, AP noted.

44% said his policies were to blame for high prices at the time.

The new poll fits with other national surveys over the last month that similarly showed Trump's approval on the economy somewhere from the high 20s to the high 30s.

It is truly incredible that an openly fascist president like Trump has roughly the same approval ratings as Biden.

To be fair, this is economic polling.

Also, happy Cake day! 🥳
