A recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll exposes that only 36% of Americans approve of President Trump's economic policies, highlighting the devastating impact of his administration's priorities on working families and marginalized communities.
President Donald Trump's approval rating on economic management has declined to a dismal 36%, the lowest in six years, according to a recent NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. This figure is a stark reflection of growing public outrage over worsening economic conditions, as 70% of respondents indicate that their local areas are unaffordable for the average family—a direct result of policies favoring the wealthy over everyday people.
The poll further reveals that 63% of Americans believe the country is headed in the wrong direction, and 60% feel the economy is not working for them personally. These numbers lay bare the failure of trickle-down economics and corporate giveaways, leaving ordinary Americans behind. Notably, 54% express concern about their ability to afford necessary health care services in the coming year, a damning indictment of an administration that has relentlessly attacked affordable health care.
Demographically, the survey highlights the deep inequalities perpetuated under Trump's watch: 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 urgent need for systemic change and expose the Trump administration's utter failure to address the needs of the most vulnerable.
