Most Americans blame Trump for high prices as midterms approach, a new AP-NORC poll finds
Only 17% approve of Trump’s handling of the cost of living, and 65% blame his policies for high prices, the poll found.
- On Thursday, an AP-NORC poll revealed that only 17% of U.S. adults approve of President Donald Trump's handling of the cost of living, with 65% blaming his policies for persistently high prices.
- Voters cite Trump's aggressive tariffs and the war with Iran as drivers of economic pain, contrasting his current term with President Joe Biden's 2022 tenure, when Americans were less likely to blame his policies.
- "Groceries are just like kind of out of control," said Bethany Lnenicka, 41, an Iowa farmer, as about 7 in 10 Americans say Trump's handling of the cost of living has been "worse than expected."
- About 6 in 10 Republicans now disapprove of Trump's economic management, threatening Republican chances in upcoming midterm elections as only 26% of Americans approve of his overall economic handling.
- Despite economic criticism, Trump maintains relative strength on border security with about half of Americans approving, though concerns over affording gas and food remain elevated from 39% in July.
