A majority of Americans believe former President Donald Trump's policies have contributed to rising costs, according to a new poll. The survey, conducted by an independent research firm, found that 68% of respondents attribute the increase in prices to Trump's administration. The findings come as the country prepares for midterm elections, where Trump's political future is under scrutiny.
The poll, which surveyed over 1,000 registered voters, highlights growing public discontent with economic conditions. Respondents cited inflation, healthcare costs, and housing prices as key areas affected by Trump's policies. The survey also noted that support for Trump has declined among both Republicans and independents, with 52% of Republicans now expressing disapproval.
This trend follows a series of economic challenges under the Trump administration, including trade wars and regulatory rollbacks. Critics argue that these actions have led to instability in key sectors. The poll underscores a shift in public perception, with many voters linking current economic struggles to past policies. As the midterm elections approach, the issue of economic performance remains a central concern for political candidates.
