AP-NORC Poll Finds Republicans Less Satisfied With Trump’s Economy Handling

About 6 in 10 Republicans approve of his economy handling, down from about 8 in 10 in February, the AP-NORC poll found.

  • A new AP-NORC poll finds Republicans are less satisfied with President Donald Trump's handling of the economy than earlier this year, though they largely continue supporting him amid the war with Iran.
  • While a majority of Republicans, 63%, still approve of Trump's economic management, that figure is down from 79% earlier this year, before the war with Iran began fueling higher gasoline prices.
  • Ariel Gutierrez, a 55-year-old Republican in Wisconsin, noted spiking gas costs are impacting family leisure, while Richard Baumgartner, a 77-year-old Republican from Las Vegas, called higher costs a "necessary side effect" of the war.
  • Despite economic skepticism, Trump's political hold remains strong, evidenced Tuesday when his handpicked candidate defeated Rep Thomas Massie, a Trump critic, in a primary challenge.
  • Immigration remains one of Trump's stronger issues, with 45% of American adults approving, while his overall presidential approval rating stands at 37%, up slightly from 33% in April.
