Quinnipiac found 33% of registered voters approve of Trump’s handling of the economy and 64% disapprove, down from 38%-57% in April and the worst economic rating of either Trump term.
Oil-price pain appears central: 55% say Trump is a lot to blame for higher gasoline prices, and 45% now describe affording gas as somewhat or very difficult, up from 29% in December.
The erosion reached beyond Democrats and independents into Trump’s base, with Republican approval of his economic handling dropping to 73% from 88% in the April Quinnipiac poll.
Broader ratings were also weak, with Trump at 34% job approval, 38% support for the U.S. military action against Iran, and 68% saying he is not focused enough on Americans’ problems.
The economy was still voters’ top concern at 31%, and 50% said they would prefer Democrats to control the House versus 39% for Republicans.
