Americans are happy with how Trump is handling the economy even though most think he’s helping the rich and his own businesses, poll finds

Americans give President Donald Trump credit for the strong economy, even though they think he’s looking out for big business and the rich, a new CBS News poll found.

The poll found that 18% of Americans rate the economy as “very good” and 46% rate it as “somewhat good.” Only 9% said they see the economy as “very bad.”

Of those surveyed, 35% think Trump’s policies are “a great deal” responsible for the current state of the economy and 33% think they are “somewhat” responsible. Just 11% said they thought his policies have no impact.

Even though Trump gets favorable grades on the economy, most people think he is looking out for his own private business and the wealthy.
