Americans have the most positive view of the economy since 9/11, but Trump's approval ratings are the lowest of any post-WWII president. Across both political parties, 68% of Americans see the economy headed in a positive direction. Meanwhile, Trump's approval ratings dropped to an almost unprecedented 36%.
The discrepancy between economic outlook and presidential approval has occurred for the last three presidents at certain times in their presidencies, but the two have an undeniable correlation. Views on the economy generally affects presidential approval, and presidential approval generally leads to more positive views on the economy. The current discrepancy could indicate the public view of the economy as unrelated to the president, further decreasing the likelihood of reelection.
