(DCNF)—A significant majority of Americans seem thoroughly unimpressed by President Donald Trump’s handling of the American economy, according to a new CBS News poll released late Sunday.
The new poll shows that just 36% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s approach to the economy, while 64% disapprove. Moreover, 77% of respondents said the president is not devoting enough time to handling inflation and the economy, 18% said he was spending an adequate amount of time and only 5% said he was spending too much time on the issues, according to the poll.
Sixty-five percent of the poll’s participants agreed that the president’s policies are causing grocery prices to go up while only 14% said Trump’s agenda is causing them to go down. Fifty-eight percent of respondents thought prices had been rising in the last few weeks, while 31% said prices were staying the same and 11% said they thought they were going down, the survey found.
Only 32% of American adults said the current state of the U.S. economy is “good,” according to the poll.
Of those surveyed, 32% expressed approval over Trump’s approach to tackling inflation, and 68% expressed disapproval.
“Putting [former President] Joe Biden’s economic disaster behind us has been the top priority for President Trump since Day One, and the Administration continues to push economic policies that are cooling inflation and raising real wages,” White House Spokesman Kush Desai told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “These same policies created a historic economy with robust job, wage, and investment growth in President Trump’s first term, and Americans can rest assured that President Trump is focused on ensuring that the best is yet to come in his second term.”
Trump claimed during a Nov. 17 speech at the McDonald’s Impact Summit that Biden’s administration “started the affordability crisis,” also claiming that his own administration “is ending it.”
“In the past six months, the price of breakfast items has fallen 14%, bread prices are down, dairy prices are down; the price of eggs has declined 86% since March,” the president stated.
However, Vice President JD Vance conceded during a Breitbart News event on Thursday that he believes the administration still has “a lot of work to do” on the economy, CNN reported.
“We get it and we hear you, and we know that there’s a lot of work to do,” Vance said, per CNN. “As much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little time for Americans to feel that.”
Still, the U.S. economy added 119,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in September, way above expectations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Nov. 20. The BLS also reported that the U.S. unemployment rate was little changed the same month at 4.4%.
Additionally, a variety of Thanksgiving meal grocery staples are projected to cost slightly less in 2025 than they did the year prior, according to an American Farm Bureau Federation survey released on Nov. 19.
The CBS News/YouGov poll surveyed 2,489 adults across the U.S. from Nov. 19 to 21. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
I supported Trump from the beginning. But I am not, nor will ever be, a sycophant for any politician. Count me among those who are not only unimpressed but tired of the childish, personal feuds. Trump MUST focus on #1 – the economy, #2 – drastically increasing the number of deportations of illegals, #3 – prosecuting everyone involved in the last administration’s criminal and unconstitutional actions, #4 – doing whatever must be done to rein in and/or impeach the judges who are acting extrajudicially.
The 32% that thinks Trump is doing a good job are either bots or their brain in not working properly because of Trumps OWS clot shot.
It will take time to set things right. It only takes a moment for the left to mes things up, especially when they are doing so purposely. People need to have patience. Good things don’t magically happen overnight.
complete democrat bs
Trump’s policies have been great – for mega corporations and the federal Treasury. What do I care if Nvidia and AMD are doing awesome? He acts like all that incoming tariff revenue is for us, but it’s just another tax that we pay directly to the Feds. Now if the tariff revenue became subsidies for the workers undercut by Chinese sweatshops, that would be different, but the money doesn’t come to us.
