The poll also showed widespread economic dissatisfaction: around 76% of voters say the national economy is in “not so good” or “poor” shape.
Key takeaways:
The strong 62%-32% split suggests that even among his supporters, a large portion see Trump as responsible for current conditions.
The overwhelming negative view of the economy (around 3 in 4) underscores that cost pressures remain top-of-mind for Americans — even if measured inflation has eased.
From a messaging perspective, attributing blame or credit for the economy is politically significant: whoever voters believe is in charge may get held accountable.
With 6 in 10 voters pointing to Trump as responsible for today’s economy — and the vast majority rating economic conditions poorly — the survey reinforces that the economy remains a central message-point for both sides heading into 2026.
