Americans are unimpressed by Trump’s economic stewardship, a new CNN poll finds. The poll, conducted by SSRS, has 56 percent of the public disapproving of his handling of the economy and 44 percent approving. Those are basically inverted from the perceptions that existed at the end of Trump’s first term. Trump’s job approval rating is at 45 percent approve, 54 percent disapprove, which is also not particularly great but actually somewhat in line with where he was in March 2017. The thing to remember is that Trump is, ostensibly, still in a bit of a honeymoon period here. Yes, the stock market has tanked, and if it turns around that could certainly improve his numbers. But he is also benefiting from his diehard voters giving him the benefit of the doubt. The Wall Street Journal, for example, has a piece today squarely on the Trump voters who are downplaying the hits he has delivered to their 401(k)s.
