Just 17% of respondents in the new poll approved of his handling of the cost of living - the top issue Americans say will determine how they vote in the November 3 midterm elections, when Trump’s Republicans are defending narrow congressional majorities.
Dissatisfaction among Republicans on the subject has been growing since Trump launched the war on Iran in February that has pushed gasoline and diesel prices sharply higher. Now for the first time, Republicans who disapprove of Trump’s handling of the cost of living outnumber those who give him a thumbs up - 51% to 44%.
75% approval amongst republicans is still crazy even if it’s down from 81%
Some are not calling themselves Republicans anymore. 32% approval is about 4% of his base that’s gone away. Most elections are decided by about 2-4%
Fingers crossed
