A majority of Americans support President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy, marking the first time his approval numbers have been on par with those enjoyed by Donald Trump in an area where the former president consistently received high marks from the public and on which he staked his political career.

According to the latest PBS NewsHour/NPR/Marist poll, 54 percent of U.S. adults approved of Biden’s handling of the economy, including 94 percent of Democrats and 48 percent of independents. Another 38 percent of Americans disapproved of Biden’s economic leadership, including 82 percent of Republicans.

Trump’s handling of the economy topped out at 53 percent of Americans at its highpoint in July 2019, according to Marist polling data. In the most recent nationally representative poll, 1,266 U.S. adults were interviewed from April 7-13 and the margin of error is 3.3 percentage points.

Biden’s economic numbers are in line with his overall approval rating, with 53 percent of Americans saying they support the president’s job performance in his first few months in office. Another 39 percent disapprove of Biden’s performance.

2. Will MF45 take credit for the good economy Biden didn't inherit!

Like MF45 took credit for President Obama economy he inherited!

[PatSeg]

3. Yeah, that's pretty predictable

though I'm sure it is really pissing Trump off.

5. What makes me smile even more is that Trump cannot spew about it on Twitter or on nearly

any other legitimate social media platform LOL

[kimbutgar]

7. I so enjoy him not spewing his bs on Twitter everyday.

I hope Twitter and Facebook don’t crater and allow him back on.

12. Just imagine the anxiety he must be going through

He lost so much power in a heartbeat and now he has no social media voice.

4. Takes awhile to cleanup after the wingers....

Ask obama...

[IronLionZion]

6. We're seeing immediate results from American Rescue Plan

Biden's stimulus has been helping people everywhere and trickling up.

Remember Trump's tax cuts trickling down? Me neither.

8. THAT WAS NEVER TRUMP'S ECONOMY, IT WAS OBAMA'S AND BIDEN'S ECONOMY

People are so ignorant...all trump and gang did for the economy was destroy it, after inheriting a great economy from Obama/Biden, and his administration inherited such a great economy that it took them long to destroy it.

MFs all of them.

Biden MUST place an education division to educate people not only in the sciences, arts, etc., everything you learn in school, but media usage to teach people to recognize when they are being duped, specially by republicans.
