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.

    Because he’s the one currently tanking the economy. Fuck Trump - even as a conservative, I can say that he and the current Republicans are awful. They singlehandedly pushed me into becoming a conservative Democrat since 2015-2016. Blue Dog Democrat or whatever.

      Remember when Republicans seemed concerned with reducing debt? Guess some may still say that but look what’s happening with spending now at the same time they are cutting everything, and still looking to increase tax cuts for top earners. 😩

        I remember when a democrat balanced the budget and gave the US a surplus from 1998-2001

      since 2015-2016

      Hah, I would be ecstatic if we had a Romney now instead of what we do have. Or even a McCain. Or hell, even a GWB as long as he wasn’t allowed to invade anywhere.

    “Blame the economy on Biden”

    You mean the metrics showing that under Biden at the end we had one of our strongest economies in our nation’s history? Of course, all of the excess wealth was going to the 1%, so average dumb red hat wouldn’t have noticed.

    Polling is irrelevant now anyway. There won’t be another free election anytime soon.

    The economy is being used to distract from the crimes of his followers. Too much concentration on that and not enough on how he wants send US citizens to a prison in a foreign country without any real due process.

    Oh no, Trump is polling poorly? Surely if he wants to be elected again he will change course…

    Inflation drops precipitously under Biden, gets blamed for inflation.

    Make it make sense.

    Surveyed 2400 people. Out of that miniscule portion of the population, those were the results.

    MAGAts are still fully stuck to drumpfs ass like remora. They will NEVER change their minds.

    It’s funny that it usually takes a while for policies to take effect, but 45 and 47 have taken actions to make the effect occur in what must be considered instantaneous in government

    It usually takes awhile for the new guy’s policies to really turn the ship. This time…
