Most Americans blame Trump for high prices as midterms approach, a new AP-NORC poll finds
Americans are deeply frustrated with Donald Trump’s handling of the economy and rising prices, with most panning his performance and blaming his policies as higher costs threaten his party’s chances in November.
A new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research finds that only 17% of U.S. adults approve of the Republican president’s handling of the cost of living. Just 26% approve of his handling of the economy overall, marking a new low.

Trump is just a symptom. The Epstein class being allowed to exist outside of prisons + unchecked capitalism is the actual problem.
It's wild that so many haven't even connected to the Trump dot, though. It's basically the first line!
It's like watching someone struggle with holding shift to sprint in the tutorial. "Jesus. Wait until they find about crouching for that fallen tree just up ahead..."
Not only Epstein class and capitalism though. While trump's unnecessary war in Iran is certainly the cause of half of the fuel shortage problem, the other half is from Putin invading Ukraine (and Ukraine's understandable retaliation against Russian oil infrastructure). I don't think anyone would point at Putin as the archetype for capitalism. Authoritarianism sure, but not capitalism.
And who didn't do anything to help stop Putin, and even enable him?
Ah, so true: Russian Oligarchs.
well yes, that he is, also.
Putin invaded Ukraine, US didn't honour the security promise.
They’re the same thing!
The buck stops with him. He explicitly said that he, and only him, could fix all of our problems. He is a liar, a failure, a thief, and he provides comfort, aide, and weapons to the enemies of America.
He has met every single standard of treason that exists.
For once, an economic catastrophe that is perceived by the average american dipshit as the president's fault is actually the president's fault.
Its too bad the average american dipshit deserves this.
Speed running society's collapse so he can put his name on it!
"...and that's why I'll be voting for some different Republicans this November," many of them said, probably.
Most of the US.
All of the rest of the world.
Of course they do, because he is to blame. Him and every republican
Yeah, but every stupid sitout keeps saying they got it right in 2024!

Clearly this is FDRs fault everyone knows this!
And the ones who don't probably only wear flip flops and Velcro shoes.
Yiu'd have to be pretty oblivious to think otherwise. Or be a FOX News viewer. (about the sane thing, I guess)
