Polling analyst Kristen Soltis Anderson highlighted President Trump’s disastrous economic approval rating of just 30 percent, describing it as alarmingly low. She warned that Trump’s refusal to accept responsibility for his administration’s failures threatens Republican chances in the upcoming midterm elections.
Republican polling expert Kristen Soltis Anderson appeared on the State of the Union Sunday program to reveal the grim reality of President Donald Trump’s economic record: an abysmal 30 percent approval rating, which she called 'extraordinarily poor.' Anderson emphasized that this figure signals a mass exodus of swing voters who once believed Trump could competently manage the economy, but are now disillusioned by his administration’s policies that have favored the wealthy and left working people behind.
'Thirty percent approval on the economy is extraordinarily poor,' Anderson said, underscoring the depth of public dissatisfaction.
She further criticized Trump’s strategy of denying responsibility for his administration’s failures, pointing out that his refusal to acknowledge the struggles of ordinary Americans only deepens the disconnect. Anderson argued that a message of humility and a genuine commitment to progress would resonate more with voters than Trump’s current dismissive attitude.
'If his message was, “We get it, we haven’t made enough progress, but let’s keep the faith…” that would be much better than this, like, “La la la. Everything’s fine.”'
Despite these damning numbers, Trump continued to boast to the media, claiming that many see him as one of the nation’s greatest presidents and that the public 'sees the results'—a statement starkly contradicted by the data.
A CNN poll from late July painted an even bleaker picture for Trump: just 30 percent approval on the economy, 28 percent on Iran, 25 percent on inflation, and a mere 21 percent on gas prices. These numbers reflect the widespread pain caused by Trump’s policies and the mounting challenges facing the Republican Party as it heads into the midterm elections.
