Donald Trump’s economic report card: 3 in 4 Americans say they are worse off under his leadership as they are struggling, most don’t expect a rebound

US President Donald Trump officially took charge of the US Presidency less than three months ago but three in four Americans have already started feeling not so better off under the tenure of the Republican President, as per a survey.

63 per cent of 1000 people surveyed by Clever Real Estate claimed that issues pertaining to the economy were yet to be addressed properly by the Trump administration, as per a Newsweek report.

Insurance costs, followed by inflation, and general state of economy are the main areas of concern for the surveyed individuals, Newsweek reported.


US inflation remained elevated last month as consumer spending recovered inflation gauge closely watched by the Federal Reserve remained high last month even before the impact of most tariffs has been felt.

Friday’s report from the Commerce Department showed that consumer prices increased 2.5 per cent in February from a year earlier, matching January’s annual pace. Excluding volatile food and energy categories, core prices rose 2.8 per cent compared with a year ago, higher than January’s figure of 2.7 per cent. Economists watch core prices as a better guide of where inflation is headed.

Inflation remains a top economic concern for most Americans, even as it has fallen sharply from its 2022 peak. Trump rode dissatisfaction with higher prices to the presidency and promised to quickly bring down inflation, but the yearly rate is higher now than during the Biden administration in September, when it briefly touched 2.1 per cent.
