Fox News Anchor Confronts Karoline Leavitt with Trump’s Dismal Economic Approval Rating: ‘Is the President Doing Enough?’
Fox News’ Sandra Smith confronted White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt with some troubling polling for the Trump administration on Monday.
“I want to look at the economy here, as we know this was a top issue for so many voters in the election, and our new Fox News polling shows that people, perhaps, are concerned with how things are going,” began Smith during an interview on America Reports. “This is as of March 14th. Those that say they disapprove, 56 percent, more than half. Those who approve of the president’s handling of the economy is at 43 percent. And in that same polling, we asked about the most important issue facing the country today. And top of the list is inflation, and the economy is number two and jobs. Those are first and second as it goes down to political division and preservation of democracy.”
“Is the president doing enough to answer-, answer the needs and demands of the American voter when it comes to the economy and lowering prices?” she asked Leavitt.
The spokeswoman answered:
The president and his economic team are working on this effort every single day. And the president is not only trying to fix the mess created by the previous administration’s incompetence and reckless spending, he is trying to fix decades of unfair trade practices that have ripped our country off, that have sent jobs overseas, and that have forced millions of Americans out of their jobs. And so the president, through trade and tariffs, is going to ensure again the American worker is put first. He’s also focused on extending his tax cuts and putting more money back into the pockets of hardworking Americans by ending taxes on tips, overtime, and Social Security. And we need Congress to get that done. And he’s also driving down inflation. Inflation is cooling, gas prices are cooling because of the incoming Trump energy boom that this administration is focused on ensuring. And so every day we’re taking steps by rolling back regulations, which is saving the American people millions of dollars as well.
