Biden’s approval was at 30% after reducing inflation from a high of about 9% in June 2022 to around 3% — roughly where it is now — in Dec 2024.

But Trump is just getting started, and he’s at 30%. If inflation keeps rising — which it might, because of the tariffs — then his approval will only go lower.
