President Donald Trump's approval rating on economic management has declined to 36%, the lowest in six years, according to a recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. This figure reflects growing public concern over economic conditions, with 70% of respondents indicating that their local areas are not affordable for the average family.
The poll also reveals that 63% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, and 60% feel the economy is not working well for them personally. Notably, 54% express concern about their ability to afford necessary health care services in the coming year.
Demographically, the survey highlights significant disparities: 77% of Black respondents and 78% of Latino respondents report that their expenses meet or exceed their income each month, compared to 68% of white respondents. Additionally, 69% of white women without college degrees feel the economy isn't working for them, compared to 51% of their male counterparts.
These findings underscore the challenges facing the Trump administration as it seeks to address economic concerns and improve public confidence.
