The midterm verdict on Trump's economy
Associated Press ·
President Donald Trump was publicly humbled by inflation in the midterm elections, as public anger over rising prices caused a blistering set of losses for Republicans. Most voters Tuesday said that Trump’s policies smothered growth and drove costs even higher. That's according to The AP Voter Poll, a survey of more than 100,000 midterm voters. The Republican president’s message that the fault lay with his predecessor, Democrat Joe Biden, didn’t land. About two-thirds of voters said inflation was more because of Trump’s policies. Democratic victories in Tuesday’s midterms signaled that most voters don’t believe the economy or Trump is working for them.
