Majority Approve of Trump’s Handling of the Economy

June 25, 2018 · 11:32 am ET · Leave a Comment

For the first time since President Trump took office, the CNBC All-America Economic Survey shows more than half the public approving his handling of the economy, and it appears to be having some impact on his overall job approval rating.

“The president’s economic approval rating surged 6 points to 51% with just 36% of the public disapproving… His overall approving rating rose 2 points to 41% from the first quarter survey, but the percentage of Americans who disapprove dropped 10 points to 47%, the lowest recorded by CNBC during his presidency.”
