President Donald Trump ‘s handling of the budget has taken a big hit with voters since he signed his ‘big, beautiful bill’ into law. Trump successfully jammed the legislation that enshrines his signature tax cuts, but adds trillions to the national deficit, through the House and Senate earlier this month – despite Republican rebels who threatened to tank it. ‘I think I have more power now,’ Trump said following the bill’s passage. ‘More gravitas, more power.’

The package extends the president’s 2017 tax cuts and further eliminates taxes on tips and overtime – a marquee promise that the president pledged repeatedly on the campaign trail. It doubles the child tax credit and includes a popular $1,000 ‘Trump investment account’ – formerly known as MAGA accounts – for newborn babies. The $3.3 trillion measure cleared Congress July 3d, with Trump declaring : ‘I think I have more power now.’

Also included in the measure are steep cuts to Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and renewable energy programs expanded by former President Joe Biden . But Trump’s support on the issue of the federal budget with Americans has dropped to just 37 percent in a new CNN / SSRS poll, with 63 percent disapproval on the issue.

Back in March, Trump had 48 percent approval on the budget, with 52 percent disapproval. That comes after the White House overcame opposition from House and Senate budget hawks to pass the measure. Even then, there were signs of trouble. Just over a quarter of Americans, 28 percent, backed it in mid-June, a Daily Mail poll by J.L. Partners found .

The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the measure will tack $3.9 trillion onto the debt – an analysis the White House disputed in part by attacking the CBO. Republicans got it through on special ‘reconciliation’ procedures designed for budget reduction, which allowed it to steer clear of the filibuster in the Senate.

The CNN poll found that the mega-measure remains underwater with voters – with 39 percent support compared to 61 percent opposition. Democrats argued during debate that opposition would grow when Medicaid cuts and other cost-cutting measure go into effect starting in 2027, after the mid-term elections. The bill cuts Medicaid and food stamps by $1.2 trillion over a decade.

Trump has stressed the tax cuts, and said failure to pass it would have amounted to a big tax hike. It also made good on some of his campaign promises such as ‘no tax on tips.’ Vice President JD Vance is joining the effort to sell the bill at an event Wednesday in West Pittston, Pennsylvania, not far from former President Joe Biden’s childhood home in Scranton. And the White House has unveiled an interactive map to allow Americans to try to calculate how much they can save under the law.

It allows Americans to enter their weekly salary, overtime pay, and tips, to calculate estimated yearly savings. It also shows state-by-state savings, but doesn’t mention the CBO analysis that an estimated 16 million people could lose their healthcare by 2034. Democrats held their own event in the Louisiana district of House Speaker Mike Johnson where they called the bill ‘reverse Robin Hood — stealing from the poor to give to the rich.’

Trump heralded the bill by signing it on July 4th but has not organized a major campaign to promote it, telling NBC he might travel ‘a little bit.’ ‘But honestly, it’s been received so well I don’t think I have to,’ he said. His trip to battleground Pennsylvania on Tuesday was billed as an energy event. Trump carried the state last year.

The poll of U.S. adults was conducted July 10-13, in the immediate aftermath of the dramatic fight in Congress and Trump’s pressure to get it through by July 4th. Trump’s own approval in the survey stood at 42 percent, with 58 percent disapproval.

That is a drop from 45 percent in March and 48 percent in February. Trump’s handling of the economy was at 40 percent and his handling of health care policy was at 38 percent. Trump did better on taxes, with 44 percent support and 56 percent opposition.
