'Heartburn to the White House': Expert claims aides in panic over economy failures

The majority of Americans are unhappy with President Donald Trump's first month in office — especially his efforts to bring down food prices, according to a new CNN poll.

Trump campaigned to make groceries more affordable "on day one" of his presidency, and said in December shortly before taking office that Americans are “going to be affording their groceries very soon."

CNN's David Chalian said Thursday that voters "are telling us that the honeymoon, as much as it may have existed, is over for Donald Trump at the moment."

Chalian brought up statistics to illustrate his point.

"You see that he's upside down here in terms of more people, a majority, a slim majority — 52% disapprove of how he's doing in our brand new poll than the 47% who say that they approve of his job performance. How does that stack up to other presidents beginning a term of their presidency here?" Chilean asked.

"He's still at an approval rating that's below where all these modern day predecessors had started their terms." They included Democratic presidents Barack Obama with a 76% approval rating, and Bill Clinton and Joe Biden tied at a 51% approval rating.

"What about these specific actions that he's taking?" asked anchor Dana Bash.

Chalian said, "Has he gone to far? Well, a slim majority says, yeah — 52% say using presidential power, gone too far. Cutting federal programs, gone too far."

Then Chalian brought out the number he said should most concern the Trump White House.

"I think this number in our poll, 62%, is the biggest number, that is going to give heartburn to the White House. Sixty-two percent say he has not done enough, not gone far enough to reduce prices. Only 11% say he has. I think that's a big warning sign," Chilean said.

What's worse, perhaps is that few Americans now believe he will bring down prices.

Chalian added, "More Americans now are saying they're afraid" and less optimistic about what comes next in Donald Trump's second term.
