Optimism has dipped a bit, but Americans still feel the economy is in good shape under President Trump, according to our All-American Economic Survey. See the full results here:
Despite rising concerns about growth this year, the CNBC All-America Economic Survey finds confidence in the economy holding up, dropping from the optimistic heights of last year but maintaining relatively strong levels.
Overall, 47 percent approve of Trump's economic stewardship, down a point from last quarter, and 43 percent disapprove, up a point. The president's net positive on the economy of 4 percentage points represents a drop from his net positive of 15 points registered in June, when more than half of the public approved of his handling of the economy and when growth was around 4 percent, nearly double the current rate.
Despite the drop in views on the current and expected state of the economy, the levels remain high by historic standards and considerably above where they were before Trump took office. That is, there's been some decline, but much of the"Trump Bump" remains.
