President Trump’s economic approval rating currently sits at 41% among registered voters, with 54% disapproving of his handling of this critical issue . Fox Business host Charles Payne argues could reverse these numbers:
Payne emphasizes Trump’s focus on lowering gas prices and inflation as the ultimate economic game-changer. He points to recent trends showing gas prices nearing $3/gallon in New York as evidence the strategy is working, predicting “inflation will go down dramatically” within 30 days . This aligns with Trump’s public assurances about imminent price drops for everyday Americans.
The administration’s aggressive tariffs and corporate incentives have sparked $3.5 trillion in new U.S. manufacturing investments over 60 days, including major moves by Hyundai and other foreign automakers . Payne praises this as a long-term play, arguing short-term market jitters over tariffs matter less than rebuilding America’s industrial base. He cites historical examples like the 1920s tariff era that preceded economic booms .
Payne blames negative coverage for dragging down consumer sentiment, calling current economic pessimism a “media creation” unmatched since WWII or 9/11 . He claims outlets exaggerate tariff impacts while ignoring Biden-era corporate subsidies, creating an unfair comparison that skews public perception . The administration counters by highlighting job creation over stock market performance.
While 89% of Republicans approve Trump’s economic management, 96% of Democrats disapprove . Payne suggests this polarization means approval gains must come from independents and working-class voters feeling tangible benefits from reshored jobs and cheaper energy. With major trade negotiations ongoing with Mexico/Canada, the next 30 days could prove decisive in swaying skeptical voters .
