Poll finds voters blame Trump for the economy more than Biden, affordability remains top worry

POLITICO's new poll shows a plurality of Americans blame Donald Trump for the state of the economy (43%), compared with 28% who hold Biden responsible, with 21% of Trump voters also attributing mainly to Trump. The cost of living is the top issue for 52% of respondents, and over two-thirds say the federal government should do more to address affordability (including 59% of Trump voters). Despite Trump’s and GOP messaging, voters remain wary of rising prices and costs like mortgages and gas, shaping the midterm landscape as concerns over affordability dominate the agenda.
