A new Wall Street Journal survey finds improving perceptions of the U.S. economy are helping President Donald Trump maintain a measure of political resilience. Forty-seven percent of respondents now describe economic conditions as good—the highest share in more than four years and a 23-point net improvement since the paper’s last reading. The poll also registers a rise in Trump’s economic approval rating, even as majorities remain skeptical of his recently enacted tariff plan and tax legislation. Other gauges point to continuing headwinds for the president. A Gallup poll released the same week puts Trump’s overall job-approval rating at 37%, near the low end of his tenure. Separately, the non-partisan KFF Health Tracking Poll reports that 63% of adults view the new tax and spending law unfavorably, compared with 36% who support it—a split essentially unchanged since before Trump signed the measure in July. Taken together, the data depict a public that credits the administration for stronger economic conditions while remaining wary of its signature fiscal initiatives and offering limited support for the president personally.
