Polling shows 76% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s handling of cost-of-living issues amid rising gas prices and inflation.
President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy has fallen to 30%, down from 38% in March, as inflation and rising costs weigh on voters. Polling data reveals 76% of Americans disapprove of his handling of the cost of living, a sharp increase in dissatisfaction.
Inflation reached 3.3% in March, while gas prices surged past $4 a gallon, exacerbating financial strain for households. Many consumers are cutting back on discretionary spending, delaying purchases, or reducing essentials, signaling broader economic unease.
The shift in sentiment reflects a growing disconnect between the administration’s messaging and public perception, with inflation fatigue emerging as a political liability.
