Washington, D.C. A new CBS News/YouGov survey shows a significant drop in President Donald Trump’s approval rating on the economy, falling 15 points since March. The poll, conducted Nov. 19–21, found that 36 percent of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of economic issues, down from 51 percent earlier this year.
The decline is steeper than Trump’s overall job-approval drop, which fell 11 points during the same period to 40 percent. The most substantial shift comes from independent voters. Today, 76 percent of independents disapprove of Trump’s economic performance, compared with 54 percent in March. Only 24 percent approve, down from 46 percent.
The same trend appears in Trump’s overall approval among independents. Seventy-two percent now disapprove of his job performance, an increase from 53 percent in March.
Democratic support for Trump has also eroded. Just 3 percent of Democrats approve of his handling of the economy, compared to 16 percent in March. Only 4 percent approve of his overall job performance.
Republican support remains high, though slightly reduced. Eighty-one percent of GOP voters approve of Trump’s economic leadership, down from 88 percent in March, while overall approval within the party remains effectively unchanged at 89 percent.
The poll comes as the administration shifts focus to economic messaging after Democratic victories in statewide and local races earlier this month. The survey included 1,489 adults with a 2.4-point margin of error.
