President Trump’s approval rating for handling the economy has fallen to a new career low of 31%, according to a new CNN poll.

“Trump’s overall approval rating has held relatively steady at 35%, one point off his all-time low in CNN polling. There’s been notable erosion, however, in his standing with his own partisans. The share of Republicans who strongly approve of his job performance has dropped to 43%, from 52% in January.”

1. Wall Street's not buying it either. Yesterday's bounce fizzled.

That's the problem with stagflation. Profits are scarce.

Nike got slammed after earnings. Skechers and UnderArmour are clobbering them on durability. Who knew that cheap fashion at high prices would lose popularity?
