President Donald Trump just broke three of his own records in a new poll, and none of them are good.
The NPR/PBS News/Marist Poll, conducted June 8–11 among 1,340 adults with a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points, finds Trump hitting simultaneous lows: his worst-ever economy approval rating, his worst-ever approval spread, and a disapproval rating that ties the highest ever recorded for him.
Just 33% of Americans approve of Trump's handling of the economy — the lowest Marist has recorded since it began asking the question in 2019. Sixty percent disapprove.
Trump's overall approval sits at 36%, with 59% disapproving — a 23-point gap that is the widest Marist has ever measured for him across either term.
The damage cuts deepest outside his base. Among independents, 65% disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy. Even 22% of Republicans have turned against him on the issue.
"The economy is suffering a lot right now, and I just feel like a lot of the things that he did promise, you know, we're still waiting," Regina Kulenga, a 36-year-old Trump voter in Georgia, told NPR.
Kulenga called Trump's actions since returning to office a "slap in the face" and said she wasn't sure she would vote in the midterm elections.
Trump's economy approval is now three points below the worst rating former President Joe Biden received at any point during his term.
