Trump’s approval rating on the economy is at an all time low.
Worst than April 2020.

President Trump hit his lowest approval rating on the economy in a Quinnipiac University Poll released Wednesday.
Just 38 percent of respondents said they approve of the president’s handling of the economy, while 57 percent disapproved and 5 percent did not provide an opinion. Trump’s previous low on the economy was a 39 percent approval rating, a mark he hit four times — including last month — since the start of his first term in 2017.
The respondents were split along partisan lines: 88 percent of Republicans and just 2 percent of Democrats approved of the president’s handling of the economy. Only 30 percent of independents backed Trump on the issue.
The survey, conducted Oct. 16-20 via phone, consisted of 1,327 registered voters. It has a margin of error of 3.5 percentage points.
