As June's inflation numbers came in better than expected and gas prices lowered, the president saw a corresponding bump in his approval ratings on the issues of inflation and the economy.

Still, he has a long way to go before voters are satisfied: Thirty-five percent (35%) of voters now approve of how the president is handling the issue of inflation, while 60% disapprove. While approval is up 6 points from last months low of 29%, this marks the 6th consecutive month where 60% or more of voters have disapproved President Trump.

The story is similar on the economy: 40% of voters approve of the way President Trump is handling the economy, while 56% disapprove. Approval had been in the 30's since March.

Intensity

In both cases, those who Strongly Disapprove heavily outnumber those who Strongly Approve. On Inflation, 43% Strongly Disapprove, compared to 19% who Strongly Approve. The economy is only slightly less lopsided: 40% Strongly Disapprove, while 21% Strongly Approve.

In a midterm year where Democrats, as the party out of power, already hold an enthusiam advantage, the question is clear: will those who have softer support for the President's policies show up and vote?
