Democrats top Republicans on economy for first time since 2010: Fox News poll

The shift comes as 66% disapprove of Trump’s handling of the economy and 26% cite inflation, prices and cost of living as the top issue.

  • Widespread economic dissatisfaction fuels the shift, as 70% of voters report the economy is getting worse and cite grocery prices as a major problem for 62% of families and gas prices for 60%.
  • President Donald Trump receives 34% approval on the economy with 66% disapproving, while 56% of respondents believe his policies are actively hurting the U.S. economy.
  • Republican strategists scramble to develop midterm strategy after Democrats previously won gubernatorial races using affordability messaging, with the poll results serving as an alarm bell ahead of elections.
  • The White House claimed inflation has 'moderated' and job creation surged; however, inflation rose to 3.3% in March amid energy costs and global shipping disruptions, complicating the economic narrative.
