Poll: Only 37% of respondents approve of Trump's handling of the economy.

On April 23, according to Golden Ten Data, the latest Reuters/Ipsos survey showed that Americans elected Trump as president in the hope that he could fight inflation and boost the U.S. economy, but on his 100th day in office, they gave the president a bad evaluation of both aspects of his handling. In a six-day poll that ended Monday, only 37 percent of respondents approved of Trump's handling of the economy, down from 42 percent in the hours after his inauguration on Jan. 20. James Petokukis, a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, said, "You have a president who promises a golden age. "But everything that should go up is falling, and everything that should be going down is going up." Petokukis said economic warning signs have put pressure on Trump to change his tariff policy, but even if Trump gives in, the economy may not bounce back quickly from the chaos.
