Americans Turn On Trump’s Inflation Handling

A new CBS News/YouGov poll claims nearly two-thirds of Americans disapprove of President Donald Trump’s handling of inflation. But dig deeper, and the numbers—like the economy—tell a far different story.

Blaming Trump for Biden’s Mess? Voters Aren’t Buying It

According to the poll, 62% of Americans think Trump’s economic policies have driven up food and grocery prices, while 50% say they feel “financially worse off.” But this narrative conveniently ignores the inflation crisis triggered by Joe Biden’s reckless spending, open-border policies, and anti-energy agenda during his four-year term.

Trump Fights Back: Tariffs That Protect American Jobs

June’s inflation came in at 2.7%, due in part to President Trump’s strong America First tariffs—measures designed to bring back U.S. manufacturing and reduce dependency on foreign adversaries like China. While critics claim tariffs raise costs, they ignore the long-term benefits of economic sovereignty and job creation.

And when it comes to core inflation—the number that matters most—Trump is winning. Excluding energy and food, core inflation held steady at just 2.9% in June, lower than the expected 3%. That’s a strong signal of economic stabilization under the Trump administration.

“The USA is Rockin’, there is VERY LOW INFLATION,” Trump declared on Truth Social, firing back at the media spin.

Trump Delivers Relief While Democrats Keep Complaining

Over 75% of Republicans approve of President Trump’s handling of the economy, according to the poll. But predictably, 95% of Democrats and 72% of independents disapprove—a reflection of partisanship, not policy performance.

White House spokesman Kush Desai pushed back hard:

“President Trump pledged to end the Biden inflation disaster, and that’s exactly what he’s doing. Core inflation has averaged just 2.1% since he returned to office. That’s a level not seen since his first term. The American people are finally getting relief.”

Trump’s team is also urging the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates to help seniors, homeowners, and working families who are still recovering from Biden’s cost-of-living crisis.

Americans Split on Interest Rates – But Support Is Growing for Trump’s Plan

The poll found 39% of Americans want rates kept where they are, 34% support a rate cut, and 27% remain undecided. For older Americans living on fixed incomes or managing retirement savings, Trump’s push for lower rates could bring real relief after four years of Biden-era economic pain.

Bottom Line: Trump Is Fixing What Biden Broke

Despite the media’s best efforts to rewrite history, President Trump is rebuilding the economy brick by brick. Inflation is cooling, confidence is rising, and America is on the road to greatness again.
