Trump's economic approval rating slumps

President Trump's economic agenda is facing a sharp rebuke from voters as the midterm elections approach.

New polling data shows a 9-point drop in his approval rating on the economy since March, with even some Republican supporters expressing dissatisfaction.

The war in Iran has become a primary driver of this trend, as consumers feel the direct impact of high fuel and energy prices.

This cooling of economic confidence presents a significant challenge for the GOP as it fights to maintain its congressional majorities.
