On April 19th, COINOTAG News reported a significant shift in U.S. economic sentiment, as highlighted by the latest CNBC All-America Economic Survey. The findings indicate that dissatisfaction with President Donald Trump’s management of critical fiscal issues—such as tariffs, inflation, and government spending—has reached alarming levels, resulting in the lowest economic approval rating since the inception of his administration. The public’s economic optimism, initially buoyed by the prospect of a Trump reelection, has notably waned.
Presently, a record-high percentage of Americans forecast a decline in the nation’s economic landscape, reflecting a marked pessimism towards the U.S. stock market. This nationwide survey of 1,000 respondents reveals that while 44% approve of Trump’s presidency, 51% express discontent, a marginal increase compared to his final approval ratings before leaving office in 2020. Despite this, only 43% endorse his economic policies, with 55% disapproving, marking a concerning trend as Trump faces his first negative net economic approval rating in CNBC’s historical polling.
