A Daily Kos/Civiqs survey in December found that 50% of respondents believed that inflation will be “solved” only if prices drop back to where they were before the pandemic.

According to a tracking survey by Civiqs, the president has a net approval rating of -22 percent, with 57 percent disapproving and 35 percent approving. This is roughly in line with other approval rating tracking surveys.

Consumer-sentiment data from the polling firm Civiqs and the Pew Research Center show that Republicans’ view of the economy has barely budged since hitting an all-time low in the summer of 2022.

According to Civiqs data, Republican views of the economy switched from strongly negative to overwhelmingly positive after Donald Trump took office, then became almost unanimously negative when Biden came in, and have stayed there.

The January 2024 Daily Kos/Civiqs Poll asked 1,217 registered voters in the United States about the 2024 presidential election, immigration, border security, and access to abortion.

Civiqs’ daily tracking polls show that about 60% of Republicans had a favorable opinion of Trump in January 2016. His current favorability rating among Republicans is now near 80%.

Data from Civiqs shows that when Donald Trump won the 2016 election, Democrats’ views of the economy soured but remained mostly positive. After Biden defeated Trump, Republicans went from describing the economy in overwhelmingly positive terms to using overwhelmingly negative ones.

Just like all the ISU-Civiqs polls before it, the final edition showed former President Donald Trump with a commanding lead over the remainder of the Republican presidential primary field in Iowa.

Views of the economy have become increasingly partisan, and this partisanship is asymmetric: Republicans are much more likely than Democrats to say that the economy is good when their party holds the White House. The Civiqs charts show this clearly.

The daily sentiment tracker from Civiqs shows gains recently in the number of people saying the economy is good. The percentage calling the economy "very good" is now at 7%, its highest level in about three years.
