Sorry, Trump, the economy is yours.

Whose economy is it anyway?

With President Donald Trump’s second term past the 100-day mark, he’s scrambling to dodge blame for a stock market that’s fallen since he took office. On April 30, he declared in a social media post, “This is Biden’s Stock Market, not Trump’s.”

He appears to be one of the few who believes that.

More Americans blame Trump (46%) than former President Biden (27%) for the current state of the economy, according to Gallup. Another 21% say responsibility is shared. That might be flattering for Trump if people liked where things stand—but they don’t.

A CBS News/YouGov poll, which was conducted shortly before Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs took effect, found that 64% of Americans think he’s not doing enough to lower prices. And the share who believe his policies will make them worse off financially jumped from 28% in January to 42% by late March. It’s safe to assume sentiment has only worsened since.
