… As perceptions of the economy have continued improving, Donald Trump has generally received higher ratings for his handling of the economy than his overall job approval in public opinion polling. Over the last six months, Navigator has tracked approval of Trump overall and approval of handling the economy, and collected 345 interviews among Americans disapproving of Trump overall, but approving of his economic handling. We wanted to understand whether Trump’s relative strength on the economy among these conflicted Americans is enough to counteract other well-known challenges to perceptions of him, such as temperament and competency.
This report also looks at their demographic profile, their economic and political attitudes, and the reasons driving their complicated assessment of Trump to date. CONT.
