A new Financial Times poll finds more Americans believe President Trump’s policies are hurting rather than helping the recovery.
The survey of likely voters found 46% of Americans believe Trump’s policies had hurt the economy, compared to 44% who said the policies had helped. It was the first time this year that a larger share of respondents said the president’s economic policies had hurt rather than helped, and was a significant drop-off since the start of the pandemic.
