A new survey for The Economist/YouGov has found: “48% of Americans say they think the economy is getting worse, up from 37% at the start of Donald Trump's second term; only 19% say they think it is getting better.” The report adds: “47% of Americans expect higher inflation in six months, more than twice the share six months ago.”
- A new Reuters/Ipsos poll found: “A majority of Americans believe President Donald Trump is being too “erratic” in his moves to shake up the U.S. economy, as his imposition of tariffs against some of the nation's top trading partners hammers stock markets.”
