Donald Trump has been graded "F" on his handling of the economy, according to a new poll.

According to a survey by Emerson College, 36 percent of people gave the president an "F" grade on the economy. This 36 represented the largest proportion of respondents and far outstripped those who gave Trump an "A" grade on this policy area.

Frequently leaders are credited with more than they really did, both good and bad. Not this time. President Wrecking Ball is 100% on the hook for this one.

I love watching all the local idiots in my town praising trump over gas prices.

Sure you can fill up your lifted dodge ram for $50 cheaper. That's great

Too bad monthly groceries cost you an extra $100, there are no jobs, and the parts to repair that vehicle cost a fortune now.

But at least gas is lower*

*Not really something a president controls but whatever
