As President Trump nears his first 100 days in office, multiple polls show that a majority of Americans believe the economy is worsening under his leadership.
Despite campaign promises to strengthen the economy, many respondents express disappointment, particularly regarding the administration's focus on tariffs. Approval ratings for Trump remain low, with 55% disapproving of his job performance. While his supporters argue that 100 days is too soon to judge, most Americans feel significant changes have already occurred, but not for the better.
The data suggests growing skepticism about Trump's economic policies and their impact.

Not surprised at all—Trump’s economic “strategy” of tariffs and tax cuts for the wealthy was never going to help working Americans. It’s about time more people are seeing through the smoke and mirrors.

No surprise here—Trump’s trickle-down economics and tariff obsession were always going to hurt regular Americans more than help them.

Maybe if Trump actually cut spending and government interference instead of playing with tariffs, he'd see better numbers—this isn't the small government we were promised.
Honestly, I’m not surprised to see people are unhappy with Trump’s economic record so far. From a social democratic perspective, his approach has mostly favored big corporations and the wealthy, while working families keep getting left behind. The obsession with tariffs just backfires on regular folks, making everyday goods more expensive and hurting American workers in the long run. Instead of investing in universal healthcare, education, or infrastructure—which would really boost the economy and help everyone—his administration seems focused on tax cuts for the rich. A hundred days might not be a long time, but you can already see which direction things are headed, and it’s not toward a fairer or stronger economy. People are right to be skeptical—real progress means putting people first, not just the top 1%.
