Recent polls indicate a decline in President Trump’s approval ratings regarding his handling of the U.S. economy, with significant drops in those who feel better off under his policies.

Recent polling data reveals a significant drop in President Trump’s approval rating among baby boomers, a key demographic instrumental to his 2024 victory.

The decrease in support is substantial enough to potentially hinder the administration’s legislative agenda. Experts note that while sample sizes within this age group are relatively small, the rapid shift in sentiment is noteworthy.
