A new CBS News/YouGov poll showed that Americans are increasingly critical of Trump’s handling of the economy, and that more people are blaming him than a month earlier. It surveyed 2,410 U.S. adults from April 8 to 11.

When asked whose policies are more responsible for the state of the economy, 54% said they believe Trump’s policies are more to blame. Only 21% said they believe Biden’s policies are to blame. 20% said both of their policies are equally to blame, while 5% said neither are to blame for the state of the economy.

This compares to a March CBS News poll, when 38% of respondents said they blamed Biden for inflation, while only 34% blamed Trump.

A poll from YouGov and The Economist also showed that more Americans are blaming Trump for the economy.

    i mean yeah, that’s how polling works. you ask a representative slice of the population and extrapolate from there. did you want them to ask all 340 million americans?

    looking at another poll conducted by yougov around april 5th-8th, they had a distribution of 48% harris voters to 50% trump voters

    i think you’re somewhat right though, considering that in that same poll, 81% of “maga republicans” (unsure how they defined that) said they approved of trumps recent tarrifs, with 11% unsure and 7% disapproving source
