Good Feelings on Economy Don’t Help Trump

A new Quinnipiac poll finds 22% of Americans rate the nation’s economy as “excellent,” while another 49% of voters say the economy is “good.”  The total 71% for “excellent” and “good” is the highest total number for American voter attitudes on the economy in almost 18 years.

However, American voters also give President Trump a negative 38% to 57% approval rating.

Said pollster Tim Malloy: “For the moment, the disparity leaves the president on shaky re-election ground.”

Key takeaway: “Trump begins his reelection campaign in a deep hole as 54% of American voters say they ‘definitely’ will not vote for him.”
