| Faith in Biden's handling of economy below Trump, Obama during their terms: poll |
| 2024-05-07 |
| [NYPOST] Public confidence in President Biden’s stewardship of the economy is hovering below each of his two immediate predecessors as faith in politicians on the issue has slipped across the board, according to a new survey. Just 38% of Americans told Gallup they had a great deal or fair amount of confidence in Biden, 81, to do or recommend the right course of action on the economy. While that figure is a slight uptick from the 35% who said last year they had confidence in Biden on the economy, it’s still the third-lowest reading in the poll dating back to 2001. Only George W. Bush scored lower, with just 34% saying they trusted him with the economy in 2008, at the height of the Great Recession. Confidence in Biden on the economy plummeted from a high of 57% in 2021, his first year in office, to 40% in 2022 before sinking another five points the following year. |

| #2 Unfortunately, that's the 38% that is in control. |

| #1 38% like this economy. Maybe that’s the percentage of government workers now. |
