Polls Show Decline in American Confidence in Trump’s Economy

Recent polls indicate growing dissatisfaction among Americans regarding President Trump's management of the economy, with approval ratings slipping to 45 percent in March from 49 percent in February. A significant portion of the population, 53 percent, views the economy as weak, and concerns over inflation continue to rise, with 51 percent of adults believing the economy is worsening. Consumer confidence has also declined for three consecutive months, with the University of Michigan's index dropping to 57.0 in March, influenced by fears of rising unemployment and ongoing inflation. As Trump's tariffs on trading partners loom, economists warn of potential price increases that could further complicate economic recovery. In related sentiments, a CBS News poll highlights that many Americans are troubled by the economic situation under Trump's administration, despite some positive views on his immigration policies. Overall, the economic outlook remains precarious, with multiple indicators suggesting increasing public anxiety over financial stability.
