President Trump’s approval rating on his handling of the economy seems to be dropping, according to a recent poll from The New York Times. Panelists on Washington Week With The Atlantic joined to examine how voters’ perception of the president may be shifting, and more.

Amid rising costs, some Trump voters have begun cutting back on spending, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, a staff writer at The Atlantic, said last night, referencing the voters she has spoken with while reporting in Arizona. “It is the sacrifices that they are having to make within their homes and within their own households to be able to afford this environment,” she added. To these voters, “psychologically, they feel like they are in a really bad spot.”

Joining the editor in chief of The Atlantic, Jeffrey Goldberg, to discuss this and more: Annie Linskey, a White House reporter at The Wall Street Journal; Seung Min Kim, a White House reporter at the Associated Press; Tyler Pager, a White House correspondent at The New York Times; and Sanchez.
