Most disapprove of Trump, except on economy
Most disapprove of Trump, except on economy
- Most Americans disapprove of Donald Trump’s overall performance two months into his presidency. But they’re more upbeat about at least one critical area: his handling of the economy.
Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of Trump’s overall performance, and about the same percentage say the country is headed in the wrong direction, according to a new poll by the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. It was conducted amid the collapse of the GOP’s health care overhaul.
But the poll also found a brighter spot for the
businessman-politician on the economy, often a major driver of
presidential success or failure. There, Americans split about evenly,
with 50 percent approving and 48 percent disapproving of Trump’s
efforts.
