BREAKING: For first time since Trump elected, more voters say economy is worsening Sibile Marcellus August 28, 2019, 11:30 AM MST finance.yahoo.com More voters say the economy is getting worse, not better: Poll Election day is still 15 months away, but the grim outlook on the U.S. economy is cause for concern for many voters. Roughly 4 in 10 voters say President Trump’s policies are hurting the economy, the highest level since Trump became president, according to a new Quinnipiac poll. Nearly half of voters (49%) disapprove of his handling of the economy, compared to 46% who approve. According to a recent poll by Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, voter approval of Trump’s handling of the economy has slipped by 5 percentage points compared to last year. More Americans (37%) say that the economy is getting worse than the 31% who say it’s getting better – the first time since Trump has been in office. When asked to rate the state of the nation's economy, 61% of voters say that it is excellent or good, while 37% say that it’s not so good or poor, Quinnipiac found. While the numbers are still positive on the U.S. economy, they’re the lowest excellent/good economy numbers found by Quinnipiac since April 2018. Voters also say that Trump's policies are hurting the nation's economy at 41%; 37% say they are helping; and 20% say his policies make no difference. Recession concerns have begun bubbling up amid an escalating trade dispute between the U.S. and China and forecasts of slowing GDP growth: Economists forecast GDP growth of 2.3% this year and 1.8% next year.
