Washington, D.C. — According to a new survey by Hart Research on behalf of Climate Power and the League of Conservation Voters, 100 days into his second term, Trump’s mishandling of the economy has become a major weakness with voters. Voters have lost confidence in Trump’s energy policies, describe his presidency as “chaos,” and blame him for rising energy costs.

Climate Power executive director Lori Lodes issued the following statement:
“Trump promised to lower costs in his second term, but 100 days in, the only thing he’s delivered is chaos and price hikes – and voters see right through it. Voters blame Trump for rising costs and their higher energy bills. Democrats have an opportunity to go on the offense and tell the American people the truth about where Trump’s agenda leads – even more reckless policies and higher costs for working families.”
The League of Conservation Voters president Pete Maysmith issued the following statement:
“Voters have soured on Trump’s reckless energy policies because they are feeling the painful impacts every day. After 100 days, it’s clear voters understand Trump is only looking out for himself, Big Oil executives, and other corporate polluters instead of helping people looking for lower energy bills, and cleaner air and water.”
