The -13 net approval on the economy is the lowest of any CNBC survey during either of Trump’s two terms. The president’s overall approval rating dropped to 44% from 46% while disapproval rose 1 percentage point to 52%. The results continued a second-term trend with his economic approval running below his overall approval rating. But the survey also shows increasingly negative attitudes about the president’s handling of critical economic issues. Just 34% of the public approve of his policies on inflation and the cost of living, with 62% disapproving. Those are the worst numbers of the three CNBC surveys during the president’s second term, an important finding for a president who promised to reduce prices.
