Stock market dropped over 700 points today.
Consumer confidence is in the shitter, because no sane Americans understand what the fuck Trump and Musk are doing to the Federal government right now. No sane Americans understand Trump's ridiculous tariff threats against Mexico and Canada, either.
Obviously, Trump's honeymoon is already over. Millions of swing voters decided to give Trump a chance and vote for him because of the economy...and it's obvious from the stupid shit going on right now that the economy is not even on Trump's radar. --
But the new polling does highlight perhaps the most significant emerging problem for Trump: the economy. While this has long been his strength, that no longer appears to be the case.
The Post-Ipsos poll shows Americans disapprove of his handling of the economy 53 to 45. Those are his worst economic numbers since 2017.
The Reuters poll shows his economic approval at 39 percent, which is lower than it ever was in his first term.
In the CNN poll, 62 percent say Trump hasn’t gone far enough in trying to reduce the price of everyday goods. Perhaps most strikingly, even a majority of Republican-leaning voters (51 percent) say this.
The Reuters poll shows just 32 percent approve of his handling of inflation — lower than his handling of the economy.
