Voters now overwhelmingly say President Donald Trump is responsible for the current state of the economy, according to late June survey data.
Overall, 55 percent of respondents to a Wall Street Journal / YouGov survey said the president is responsible for the economy. That’s more than double those who pinned current conditions on former President Joe Biden.
That analysis held true among Trump voters, too, many of whom said the Biden economy, including its record inflation during the pandemic, was a key reason for turning out.
