(DCNF)—A significant majority of Americans seem thoroughly unimpressed by President Donald Trump’s handling of the American economy, according to a new CBS News poll released late Sunday.
The new poll shows that just 36% of U.S. adults approve of Trump’s approach to the economy, while 64% disapprove. Moreover, 77% of respondents said the president is not devoting enough time to handling inflation and the economy, 18% said he was spending an adequate amount of time and only 5% said he was spending too much time on the issues, according to the poll.
Sixty-five percent of the poll’s participants agreed that the president’s policies are causing grocery prices to go up while only 14% said Trump’s agenda is causing them to go down. Fifty-eight percent of respondents thought prices had been rising in the last few weeks, while 31% said prices were staying the same and 11% said they thought they were going down, the survey found.
Only 32% of American adults said the current state of the U.S. economy is “good,” according to the poll.
Of those surveyed, 32% expressed approval over Trump’s approach to tackling inflation, and 68% expressed disapproval.
“Putting [former President] Joe Biden’s economic disaster behind us has been the top priority for President Trump since Day One, and the Administration continues to push economic policies that are cooling inflation and raising real wages,” White House Spokesman Kush Desai told the Daily Caller News Foundation in a statement. “These same policies created a historic economy with robust job, wage, and investment growth in President Trump’s first term, and Americans can rest assured that President Trump is focused on ensuring that the best is yet to come in his second term.”
Trump claimed during a Nov. 17 speech at the McDonald’s Impact Summit that Biden’s administration “started the affordability crisis,” also claiming that his own administration “is ending it.”
“In the past six months, the price of breakfast items has fallen 14%, bread prices are down, dairy prices are down; the price of eggs has declined 86% since March,” the president stated.
However, Vice President JD Vance conceded during a Breitbart News event on Thursday that he believes the administration still has “a lot of work to do” on the economy, CNN reported.
“We get it and we hear you, and we know that there’s a lot of work to do,” Vance said, per CNN. “As much progress as we’ve made, it’s going to take a little time for Americans to feel that.”
Still, the U.S. economy added 119,000 nonfarm payroll jobs in September, way above expectations, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported on Nov. 20. The BLS also reported that the U.S. unemployment rate was little changed the same month at 4.4%.
Additionally, a variety of Thanksgiving meal grocery staples are projected to cost slightly less in 2025 than they did the year prior, according to an American Farm Bureau Federation survey released on Nov. 19.
The CBS News/YouGov poll surveyed 2,489 adults across the U.S. from Nov. 19 to 21. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus 2.4 percentage points.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
Americans are too easily sidetracked by the “what’s happening now” concerning the economy while ignoring everything else that matters just as much or more. A Congress that over decades built an economic disaster waiting to happen twiddles it’s thumbs and is happy to focus on their two most important things -get elected and stay elected – and let the president be the fall guy. Our country is in a Godless, moral free fall thanks to insane Democrats, cowardly Republicans, an activist Judiciary and a neutered Christian church. The economy, big fish that it is, won’t be fixed without ruthlessly draining the swamp that is hell bent on destroying the country and a repentant, sackcloth and ashes, return to our national motto “In God We Trust”.
Our America First President has jumped ship on the voters who elected him. President Trump. Where is our $2.00 gasoline ? Where is our .05 inflation rate for consumables ? Where is our Americans first job advantage ?
President Trump, “We The People” did not elect you to usher in world peace. We do not want any more H1B visas issued to 3rd world incompetence . We do not want Israel gifted another trillion dollars of our tax money to continue its endless wars against non-Jews. We want all illegal aliens deported , not just the selected criminal element. All 45 million of them. President Trump, you have forgotten us , your base in your quest for a positive legacy. Remember, promises made, promises kept. MAGA.
It is not the economy per se, it is who benefits. Not Americans. companies are firing Americans and replacing them with H1B and other foreign labor for cheap salaries. And we see it. Prices have not come down, the wages have. Trump needs to stop patronizing us and get to work. On behalf of his voters. Not donors.
Anyone who thinks President Trump is neglecting the economy has to be a total dumbass. This man has done more for the American economy than the last 10 presidents combined. What the hell did Poopants Joe do for the economy except ruin it? And what about Barack and his whiny wife Michael? And George Bush…there was a real pill. He and Dickless Cheney sent us to war based on complete lies.
