CNN Poll Shows Surge in Presidential Approval on Economy Under TrumpJohn Carney 12 Mar 2025
Americans are far happier with the economic leadership of President Trump than they were under Joe Biden just a few months ago, according to a CNN poll released Wednesday.
While American households are still laboring under the weight Biden-era inflation, the worst in forty years, their opinion of the president’s handling of the economy has surged higher with the changing of the guard at the White House.
Biden left office in January with just 33 percent of Americans saying they approved of his handling of the economy, according to a CNN poll conducted by SSRS in January. A super-majority of 67 percent said they disapproved of Biden’s economic leadership.
President Trump now scores a 44 percent approval rating. That is higher than Biden scored in any of the CNN polls since December 2021. At this point in his presidency, Biden had a 49 percent approval rating on the economy.
CNN says its most recent poll was conducted by SSRS from March 6-9 among a random national sample of 1,206 US adults who were polled online or by telephone with a live interviewer.
The economy continues to be top of mind for many Americans, with 42 percent choosing it as their top issue from a list of seven. That’s more than double the share who picked any other issue.
