  "account": "A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that President Donald Trump's handling of the economy and rising prices has deeply frustrated Americans. Only 17% of U.S. adults approve of his handling of the cost of living, while just 26% approve of his overall handling of the economy, marking a new low. This economic concern comes as Trump and Vice President JD Vance are hitting the campaign trail in heavily Republican areas ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. 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. Meanwhile, Americans are increasingly concerned about their ability to afford basic necessities like groceries and gas, with half saying they are extremely or very worried about gas prices, up from 39% in July. 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.",
