So this morning, as President Trump insists, continues to insist the economy is booming and that prices are falling, there is new polling out that shows that people are still not feeling that and are pessimistic about where things are headed.

CNN's chief data analyst Harry Anton has much more on this.

Yeah, you know, Donald Trump was elected to solve the economic crisis, to solve the pricing crisis, but

at this particular point, these numbers are going in the complete wrong direction.

I on the economy, the country is going on the wrong track, the right track.

You go back to January, these numbers were pretty split, right?

43% said wrong track, 36% said right track.

But look at that, that wrong track number has skyrocketed up to 56%.

Who say that the country, at least when it comes to the economy, is on the wrong track.

And that right track number, Kate Baldwin, has fallen at 29%.

So what was a single digit spread has ballooned up to a 27 point spread in the negative direction.

Donald Trump is trying to spin a narrative and the American people aren't buying the spin that is coming out of the White House.

I mean, we've done a bunch of segments on this and we're going to continue to do segments on this when polling like what came out yesterday from NBC News continues to show it.

Top concern for you, economic concern for you and your family.

Number one, we've said it over and over again.

It's inflation overwhelmingly driving this economic pessimism.

Until the economy, until the American people think that inflation is under control, they will continue to, to have pessimistic feelings about the economy because inflation is numero uno by a wide, wide margin in driving this economic pessimism.

Setting aside the president on this, how does this look?

Okay, so I think this is the key thing, right?

Because oftentimes they'll say, hey, look, you know, we're blaming the President.

But we've seen some polling in which Republicans still lead Democrats.

Party trust and more on rising prices back in October of 2022, before that midterm election it was Republicans trusted more by 14 points.

You come now it's a completely different tune.

Now Democrats are trusted more by four points.

So it's not just the President that the American people are turning on when it comes to inflation.

It is in fact the Republican Party as well, a massive shift to the left towards the Democratic Party.

Where are the prediction markets on all of this?

Okay, so here's, I think the key question going forward is is inflation going to get any better?

And this is a great chance to use prediction markets.

November's CPI year over year report equals or is above the previous 3.0%, 80%.

There is no relief in sight at this point.

It looks like inflation will remain at a level that the American people think is unacceptable.

No one believes that there's any relief in sight.

And there is a lot of breaking news we're following.

The odds brought to you by Cowshi prediction.

As the second Trump administration nears its one year mark, new polls underscore that Americans are not happy with what they're getting and maybe they're ready to take it out on the gop.

The new NBC News poll found that President Trump's approval is just 42%.

A majority, 53% now say they trust Democrats over Republicans and to handle rising prices.

It's pretty stunning considering the Democrats were driven from power just last year in large part because of the issue of the economy.

And the president isn't ready to admit really any of the economic woes.

In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, he said, quote, I've created the greatest economy in history, but

it may take people a while to figure all these out things out.

Now, Kristen, is it just that he is absolutely convinced, he can convince people that what they're feeling isn't what they're feeling, or does he not see that people are very tepid on his economy?

also a third part of this, which is what he is going through right now is exactly what President Biden and his administration were talking about when he was running against him in 2024, which is you get the upper hand if you're not in office.

The Biden administration was going around saying, look at all these policies that we've put in place.

The economy is shifting in the right direction.

When they go to cvs, when they go to the grocery store, when they pull out their credit card, how much does this cost them and are they going to be able to afford the other things that they need to get through the day?

The problem is the person in power is the one who gets blamed if they feel like it's too expensive.

He does believe that he's the best messenger, that he can convince people it's going to get better or it's already better.

I will say in that same Wall Street Journal interview, he said that some of his policies might not actually impact people or be helpful enough by the midterm elections, meaning Republicans would lose.

And then he has events that don't necessarily the imagery and what things, what people say and the kind of people who say the things at his events don't necessarily comport with the way people are feeling, put it that way.

I'm going to go to you on this since you are a golf aficionado.

Bryson DeChambeau was at the White House on Sunday.

It's the greatest economy that we've ever had.

And just to be serving on the President's Council of Sports, Fitness and Nutrition has been such an honor.

And the first lady looks so beautiful, by the way.

And I'll say cheers to the greatest economy that we've had in a long, long time.

You know, he's the Liv golfer who got gobs and gobs and gobs of money to go leave the PGA Tour to play and live golf.

So perhaps not the best person to talk to the everyman who may be feeling the economic pain here.
