  "account": "Most Americans are deeply disappointed with President Donald Trump's handling of the economy, according to a recent poll. Only 17% of US adults approve of his performance on this issue, marking a new low. A majority of 65% blame his policies for the persistently high costs, despite factors outside of his control. This dissatisfaction comes as he campaigns ahead of the midterm elections and uses tariffs aggressively.\n\nEven among Republicans, 67% disapprove of Trump's handling of the cost of living, while only 3 in 10 approve of his overall job performance as president. The war in Iran is also highly unpopular, with 69% of Americans saying it hasn't been worth fighting. Just 28% approve of how Trump is handling relations with Iran.\n\nPrice hikes are causing significant concern among Americans, with half now extremely or very worried about affording groceries and gas. Many are disappointed that Trump has not delivered on his promise to \"Make America Great Again.\" The poll shows that most Americans believe the country is much or somewhat worse off than when Trump began his second term, and only about 30% approve of his overall job handling.",
