Poll Shows Democrats Lead Republicans on Economy as Trump Approval Declines
A recent Reuters Ipsos poll shows Americans now view Democrats as better economic managers than Republicans for the first time in nearly a decade, with President Donald Trump's approval rating falling to 35%. Rising energy prices linked to the Iran conflict are affecting household finances. Trump dismissed these poll results as "fake," citing his administration's achievements in taxes, jobs, border security, and foreign policy. The poll also indicates Democrats hold a lead in potential congressional support ahead of the midterm elections.
