A recent poll reveals that 59% of Americans believe President Donald Trump’s policies have worsened the nation’s economic conditions, an increase from 51% in March. The survey highlights growing dissatisfaction with the economy and skepticism about the administration’s trade strategies.
With the impact of new tariffs yet to be fully felt, six out of ten respondents say Trump’s policies have already increased the cost of living in their communities. Only 12% feel his agenda has helped lower prices.
The poll also indicates that just 34% of Americans feel enthusiastic or optimistic about the economy. In contrast, 29% express pessimism, and a notable 37% admit they are afraid of the current economic direction.
This sentiment reflects widespread concern over rising expenses and uncertainty about future financial stability. As trade policies continue to evolve, many Americans are watching closely to see how these changes will affect their daily lives.
