Poll: Most Americans have the summer blues about Trump and the economy

[Dulcinea]

(NPR) As concern over gas prices remains high, President Trump's approval ratings continue falling to record lows, especially over his handling of the economy, according to the latest NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Only a third of Americans say they approve of how Trump is handling the economy — three points lower than the worst marks given to former President Joe Biden during his term.

Just 36% say they approve of Trump's overall job performance, while 59% say they disapprove, which is the widest gap Trump has faced during either term in office.

I sell at art shows. Sales have depreciated around 20 percent, its 4 shows so far this year, weather and other factors come into play so will have to see the whole year average.

Most of the other artisans I talked to have the same experience. Even food vendors.
