A new CNN poll reveals that 59% of Americans believe President Trump's policies have worsened the economy, a figure matching Joe Biden's worst approval ratings. Economic pessimism is widespread, with 69% anticipating a recession. The poll also highlights significant public disapproval of Trump's tariff policies, with majorities believing they'll negatively impact the US economy, global standing, and personal finances, both short-term and long-term. While Republicans show slightly improved views recently, concerns remain even within the GOP about the economic impact of Trump's actions.
