Trump praised Boeing's FlyDubai aircraft for surviving extreme conditions, despite the plane losing half its altitude in about a minute and most of its rudder being ripped off the tail.

About half are also highly concerned about the rising cost of food. Despite Trump's economic struggles, about two-thirds of Americans blame him for high costs, while about two-thirds of Republicans don't blame Trump personally for high prices, attributing it to factors outside his control.
