After one year into his second term President Donald Trump is losing support from his voters over economic issues.

Speaking to CNN, Franz Rowland, a Georgia farmer, complained that someone "dropped the ball in Washington." He's bothered by high prices and those not "looking out for us."

The new SSRS poll shows 58 percent of Americans believe that Trump's first year in office has been a "failure."

"Trump says, you know, be patient. The farmers are going to be better than ever. We better hurry up because we can't. We can't stand this much," said Rowland, who supported Trump hoping he would improve the economy.

"When you hear politicians and others in Washington saying the economy is doing great, the country has never been better — they need to come out here. They need to come out here and live in my shoes. The economy may do may be doing better for some people, but on the farm it ain't doing better," said Rowland.

Toy store owner Florence Allen said that her economy isn't "hot," the way Trump seems to think it is, In fact, none of her costs at home or for the store have gone down.

CNN reporter Jeff Zeleny commented, "Allen, a democrat, has owned her toy store for 20 years and tried to navigate a whiplash tariff policy that's impacted much of her inventory. When you've heard the president say, we're making all."

She wants to see Trump give that money back.

"I think for most people he's not fooling people with that line," Allen continued.

Rowland said that he was hoping that things would get a little better once Trump came back in office.

"I thought by now we would have a we'd have some really good trade. I did think there would be better by now. Yeah," he lamented.
