The late‑January survey—conducted online January 28–29, 2026, among 2,000 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX—shows 53 percent of voters believe the economy is worse today than it was under Biden, while 47 percent say it is better, a three‑point slide for Trump since December.

With a margin of error of plus or minus 1.99 percentage points, the shift is subtle but statistically meaningful, hinting at a gradual cooling of the optimism that marked Trump’s first months back in office.
