NEW POLL: Majority of Americans Blame Trump for Rising Costs

“Sixty-five percent of adults overall say higher-than-usual prices are the result of Trump’s policies“

New AP-NORC polling shows what we all already know: Americans hate Republicans’ disastrous economy. 

The numbers speak for themselves:

  • 6 in 10 adults say the economy and country are worse off than two years ago
  • 7 in 10 feel that the president’s handling of the cost of living is worse than expected, including 52% of Republicans
  • 71% of adults disapprove of how Trump is handling Iran and 69% say the war in Iran has not been worth fighting
  • 73% say the country it heading the wrong direction

Whether it’s the president’s price-hiking tariffs or his reckless war in Iran, hardworking Americans are paying the price for Republicans’ countless broken promises. But don’t take our word for it. 54% of Americans say Trump doesn’t even try to keep his promises to voters. Ouch.

DCCC Spokesperson Bridget Gonzalez:
“Republicans promised to lower costs on ‘day one,’ but instead have spent the past two years bowing to a president whose tariffs and reckless war of choice have sent the economy spiraling. In 32 days, voters will hold these spineless Republicans accountable, and elect a Democratic House majority.”
