Americans now say the economy is worse off under President Donald Trump than it was under former President Joe Biden, according to new national polling data. A new Harvard CAPS–Harris Poll reveals a nation uneasy about its economic direction and sharply divided about what is driving current conditions.
The late‑January survey—conducted online January 28–29, 2026, shows;
- 53 percent of voters believe the economy is worse today than it was under Biden.
- 63 percent of those surveyed said the “current state of the economy” was mostly due to the policies of the Trump administration.
- Trumps lowest marks are on inflation and trade—core components of economic perception
- Voters overwhelmingly identify inflation as their top issue
For Republicans, it is a warning sign that confidence in Trump’s stewardship is softening.
