Americans' confidence in Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell's economic stewardship has skidded to the lowest of any recent U.S. central bank head, according to a Gallup poll released Tuesday that also showed broad doubts about the country's economic leadership overall.
Just 36% of respondents to a Gallup poll taken last month said they had either a "great deal" or "fair amount" of confidence in Powell.
Powell's confidence ratings among the public have tumbled by more than 20 percentage points from 2020, when in the early days of the coronavirus pandemic the U.S. public had the greatest confidence in him than in any Fed chair since Greenspan in 2004.
