Trump's economic approval slumps

Trump's economic approval slumps

The polling data shows that a majority of Americans rate the economy negatively, with many citing the Iran war as a major factor in their financial strain.

The slump in approval comes as the president continues to push for aggressive tariff policies and steep budget cuts.

Republican candidates are facing increased pressure to address affordability concerns as the midterm elections approach.

While the administration has touted strong corporate earnings, the polling suggests that many ordinary Americans are not feeling the benefits of the current economic climate.
