Trump Just Lost His Most Important Talking Point Thanks to Brutal Poll

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Americans are starting to see through Donald Trump’s economic promises as he continues to tank the economy with his volatile approach to global trade.

A new poll from The Economist/YouGov, conducted April 13–15, shows that Trump’s economic approval is at an all-time low. Fifty-two percent of respondents said the economy is getting worse, up 5 percent from “Liberation Day,” when Trump implemented reciprocal tariffs of 10 percent or more on about 90 countries, sending stock markets plummeting to a generational low. He then rescinded the majority of those tariffs days later (but increased the ones on China), causing confusion and chaos for consumers and small-business owners.

Three-quarters of voters said they thought tariffs “will increase the price of goods they buy,” and about two-thirds of Americans think the state of the stock market is Trump’s fault, according to the YouGov poll.

As data journalist G. Elliott Morris pointed out Friday in a Substack post, Trump’s average net economic approval in YouGov polls over the last month is -6 percent, the worst he’s ever polled as president. While handling the outbreak of Covid-19 during his first term, Trump’s net economic approval rating was 3 percent, Morris noted.

1. Let's keep this simple. Don't get all caught up explaining the tariff game. Trump is RAISING inflation!! That is ...

...where people live and what they bitched at Joe for ignoring and somehow thought voting for Trump would fix. Going down the twisted illogic of the tariffs and who is doing what to whom and when is distracting and of no good end for us Dems in the time suck it creates. Simply paint the WHOLE GOP with rising prices and increasing economic peril and that THEY are letting it happen. We will remember in the fall of 2026.
