The CNBC All-America Economic Survey, released on Friday, showed that 55% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s economic management, while only 42% expressed approval, giving him a net rating of -13 points on economic issues—the lowest recorded in the network’s polls during either of his presidential terms.
The poll also showed that Trump’s overall approval rating fell from 46% to 44%, while his disapproval rose by one percentage point to reach 52%. CNBC noted that these figures reflect a “trend in his second term, where approval of his economic performance is lower than his general approval rating.”
Additionally, the survey indicated that most Americans are dissatisfied with Trump’s handling of various economic issues. Only 34% approved of his handling of inflation and rising living costs, while 62% disapproved. CNBC described these results as “Trump’s worst performance” on this issue since the start of his second term.
The poll also showed that 56% of Americans oppose Trump’s tariff policies, while only 41% support them.
Participants expressed a pessimistic view of the current and future economy: 72% said the current economy is “average or poor,” while only 27% said it is good or excellent.
Regarding future expectations, 46% believed the economy would worsen over the next year, compared with just 32% who expected it to improve.
The survey also asked respondents who they hold responsible for any economic fallout from the ongoing government shutdown: 53% blamed Trump and Republicans in Congress, while 37% considered the Democrats responsible.
The poll was conducted among a sample of 1,000 people across the United States from October 8–12, with a margin of error of ±3.1 percentage points.
