A new poll showed that 56 percent of those surveyed think Trump is doing a good job on the economy.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway was revelling in new polling data on Friday, which showed that the majority of Americans now approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the U.S. economy.
The CNN poll, conducted by SSRS, showed that 41 percent of respondents disapprove of Trump’s performance on the economy, with just three percent saying they had no opinion. The approval result was five points higher than another SSRS poll in March, and eight higher than in February. The president’s lowest economic approval rating in SSRS polls was 44 percent in December 2017.
Trump regularly touts U.S. economic performance as one of his primary achievements. He does not acknowledge that he inherited a robust and fast-recovering economy from President Barack Obama, who spent a significant part of his first term grappling with the fallout of the 2008 financial crash. The economy is one of his few winning issues—the majority of respondents in the most recent SSRS poll still disapprove of Trump’s record on health care, immigration, foreign policy and race relations.
