Newsweek - In the latest Fox News polling, which was carried out from March 14 to 17, a majority of registered voters said they disapprove of Trump's handling of the economy thus far: 56 percent of respondents disapproved while 43 percent approved—meaning the president's approval on the issue is underwater by a double-digit 13 point margin.
Notably, that's a sharp reversal from the trend during Trump's first term in office, when his approval on handling the economy was consistently above water in Fox News polls. Even in December 2020 right before he left office, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Trump's approval on the economy stood at 52 percent, with 48 percent disapproving.
When it comes specifically to inflation, the poll showed Trump even more underwater. The survey had 58 percent disapproving of the president's handling of inflation compared to 40 percent who approved—a negative 18-point margin.
The new poll also showed Trump slightly underwater overall. When asked generally whether they approve or disapprove of the job the president is doing, 49 percent approved while 51 percent disapproved.
