NBC Poll Finds 55% Say Trump Policies Hurt Economy
A new NBC News poll found bad news for Trump. 55% of registered voters say his policies hurt the economy.
Most voters blame Trump for high prices. They also see the economy as shaky.
His approval rating is 41%. His ratings are declining, the poll found.
The poll surveyed 1,000 registered voters. It ran from September 11 to 15 2026.
This was as early voting begins. Republicans face concerns about high living costs.
Trump's weak approval could hurt the party. This is ahead of November's midterm elections.
Rising gas prices link to the Iran war. Cost-of-living concerns are also growing.
Together these worsen economic anxiety, says the Associated Press. Trump has defended higher prices as a cost of the conflict.
Klear Note — Polls measure voter opinions, not final election results. Midterm elections choose members of Congress halfway through a president’s term.
