Most Americans blame Trump for high prices

A recent survey by The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that 65% of US adults blame President Donald Trump's policies for the rising cost of living. The survey also showed that only 26% of Americans approve of Trump's overall economic management, and just 17% approve of his handling of inflation. Trump responded by stating that the US has the best economic figures in its history, but the media doesn't report on it.

Despite some positive macroeconomic data, including a revised 2.2% growth estimate for the second quarter and low unemployment claims, consumer confidence is at a 12-year low due to high fuel prices. The issue may impact Trump's Republican party in the upcoming midterm elections.
