• 53% of Americans believe the economy is worsening under Trump.
• 56% disapprove of Trump's economic policies, a rise from 49% in March.
• 58% oppose Trump’s new tariffs, while only 42% support them.
• Many Americans expect tariffs to negatively impact prices and the economy.
• Harry Enten labels current polling as the worst for Trump in his second term.

Recent polling data reveals that public opinion towards President Donald Trump’s handling of the U.S. economy is deteriorating, especially following his recent tariff announcements. A CBS/YouGov poll indicates that 53% of respondents believe the economy is getting worse under Trump, reflecting growing dissatisfaction among the public, according to Salon.

Additionally, the same poll highlights that Trump's disapproval rating in managing the economy has surged to 56%, a marked increase from 49% just a month earlier. This signals a significant shift in sentiment as more Americans express their concerns about economic stability and progress under his leadership, as reported by India Times.

Concerns regarding Trump's new tariffs have also influenced public opinion, with approximately 58% of people opposing the new import tariffs. Only 42% of those polled support this policy. The tariffs, intended to bolster U.S. manufacturing, appear to have led to widespread anxiety about rising prices, with 65% of Americans predicting a short-term negative impact, according to data from Forbes.

In more detail, the polling indicates that significant numbers of Americans—nearly 60%—believe that Trump's tariffs will contribute to further economic decline. In stark contrast, when asked about potential improvements to the economy due to these tariffs, only 8% expressed optimism for immediate benefits. This growing pessimism about Trump’s economic policies poses serious challenges as the 2024 election approaches, highlights HuffPost.

The implications of these polling trends are troubling for Trump, especially as CNN analyst Harry Enten described the current voter sentiment as “the worst set of polling data that Donald Trump has had in his entire second term as president.” With a growing perception that the economy is worsening, many voters are reassessing their support for Trump, according to Forbes.

As the landscape continues to shift, public opinion may play a crucial role in shaping the political future as Americans grapple with the implications of the tariff policies and their broader economic effects. While Trump's efforts are aimed at reducing the trade deficit and restoring American jobs, the current perception is largely negative, as evident from recent survey results shared by Newsweek.
