The numbers are falling and with every poll, confidence across the country is bleeding away. Inside the White House, the quiet grows heavier, as if no one wants to admit what everyone already sees. Donald Trump’s job approval has dropped to 37 percent and his rating on the economy sits at 34 percent according to the American Research Group. These numbers do more than show disapproval. They show a presidency losing control over the one thing that once held it together. The economy, once his strongest claim, now drags behind him, slowing every step, and millions of Americans no longer believe recovery is coming, no longer trust promises, and do not expect life to improve in the year ahead.
“A total of 38 percent of Americans say they approve of the way Donald Trump is handling his job as president and 59 percent say they disapprove,” reported the American Research Group. “When it comes to Trump’s handling of the economy, 34 percent of Americans approve and 63 percent disapprove.” Source: https://www.americanresearchgroup.com/economy/
The collapse in economic approval is deeper than inflation or interest rates. It shows a country with no plan, no progress, and no direction. Among those who approve of Trump’s job, only 29 percent expect the economy to get better. Among those who disapprove, 71 percent expect it to get worse. That gap is more than politics. It is fear. It is hope shrinking to a thread while worry spreads.
“Of the 38 percent of Americans saying they approve of the way Trump is handling his job as president, 45 percent say they expect the national economy will be worse a year from now,” the survey found. Source: https://www.americanresearchgroup.com/economy/
