President Donald Trump's economic approval rating has plummeted to minus-32 points, the worst of any president at this comparable point in their term, according to CNN analyst Harry Enten. Trump was re-elected in 2024 partly on economic messaging but experienced a nearly 40-point drop from his plus-6 rating at the beginning of his second term. The decline is most pronounced among independents, who have abandoned Trump at record rates with a minus-55 approval rating on the economy — a 56-point drop from January 2025.
Enten noted Trump's economic standing has become an anchor dragging him down in his second term, contrasting sharply with his first when it was a strength. Trump's minus-32 rating significantly underperforms historical comparisons: Joe Biden reached minus-25, George W. Bush minus-25, and Jimmy Carter minus-22. Enten warned that prediction markets show a 98 percent probability April inflation will exceed March's 3.3 percent, suggesting conditions could worsen further.Watch the video below.
