Jun-08 17:41

US President Donald Trump’s approval rating on inflation has hit a new low of net -47.2, according to data from Silver Bulletin’s presidential approval tracker. 

  • According to UK-based data analytics firm FocalData, Trump’s net approval rating on inflation and the cost of living has fallen off a cliff, “collapsing to a new low of -51, down 20 points in the space of a month. Just 18% of Americans now grade his performance favorably.”
  • The outlet notes, “Even with his own voters, the president is underwater on inflation. Only 36% of those who voted for Trump in 2024 back his performance on the issue, with almost half (46%) disapproving.”
  • FocalData adds, “Gas prices in particular are driving a wedge through Trump’s winning 2024 coalition. Those who chose the Republican ticket in November 2024 are more likely than average to say the cost of gas is one of the parts of the economy which affects them and their family most, with a majority (51%) selecting it in their top three factors when asked (compared to 41% of Kamala Harris voters).”
