A "roaring economy," Trump said near the start of his record-breaking 1-hour, 47-minute speech, "is roaring like never before." He vowed to maintain unilateral tariffs on foreign goods despite an adverse Supreme Court decision.

But Americans tell pollsters, in survey after survey, that they are not satisfied with the economy 13 months into Trump's second presidency. Most Americans disapprove of how he's handling the economy (57%) and inflation (65%), according to a recent ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll.

- Views on Trump’s handling of the economy tilt negative (41% approve, 57% disapprove). Americans have more negative views of Trump’s handling of tariffs on imported goods (34% approve, 64% disapprove) and inflation (32%, 65%).

- A plurality (48%) of Americans say the economy has gotten worse since Trump became president in January 2025, compared to 29% that say it has gotten better.
