During his visit to Michigan on Monday, Trump aimed to highlight his economic achievements. However, the public’s opinion on the economy tells a different story:
According to a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted between July 22 and 24, only about 35% of Americans approve of Trump’s economic management, while 65% disapprove.
-
Regarding inflation, approximately 29% approve of Trump’s approach, whereas 71% are dissatisfied.
-
In a Fox News poll from July 17-20, only 24% of Americans rated the economy as excellent or good under Trump’s administration this year, a drop from 32% in July 2025.
These statistics indicate significant challenges for Trump’s economic narrative. What message did he convey to the Michigan audience?
In his speech, Trump claimed, “We’re having the single greatest year we’ve ever had as a country. We’re not going to let these people destroy it.”
Trump’s denial of the economic issues could negatively impact candidates who support his views, potentially leading to difficult elections or defeats in November.
