NPR/PBS News/Marist poll finds 33% approve of President Trump’s handling of the economy

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released Thursday shows 33 percent of Americans approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, a figure the survey describes as his lowest approval rating on the issue. The same measure places Trump three points below former President Joe Biden’s worst economy-handling approval mark.

A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll released Thursday found 33 percent of Americans approve of President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy, a result the poll described as Trump’s lowest approval rating on the issue to date, according to the report.

The poll’s comparison indicates Trump’s approval stands three points below former President Joe Biden’s worst economy-handling approval mark during his time in office, with the Biden figure reported at 36 percent.

The survey, as reported by The Hill, frames the current economy-handling approval rating as part of a broader evaluation of presidential performance on economic issues, using the same “approve” measurement approach across different administrations.

With the poll describing Trump’s economy approval as reaching a new low, it adds a data point to the ongoing public assessment of the economy heading into the later stages of the 2026 political cycle.

The report does not detail subgroup results or statistical margins in the information provided, and it does not specify whether the comparison to Biden is drawn from the same exact dates, question wording cadence, or sampling conditions beyond the poll’s reported framing.

The poll’s release comes as presidential approval ratings and economic evaluations continue to be tracked by major media outlets, and it may be used by campaigns and elected officials as a reference point for how voters view the economy and the administration’s management.

Why It Matters

  • Public approval ratings on the economy are often treated as a key measure for how voters weigh presidential management on day-to-day economic conditions.
  • Comparisons across administrations can affect how elected officials and campaigns interpret the political environment, particularly when a rating is described as a low point.
  • Because the provided information does not include detailed breakdowns or margins of error, the poll’s specific significance for different voter groups remains unclear from the reporting alone.
  • Media polling that tracks “approve” ratings can influence subsequent messaging and can become part of the record used in public debates about economic policy direction.
