(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.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.

- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.

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.
