A new poll found more Americans are unhappy with Donald Trump’s stances on the economy and cost of living, with almost twice as many saying the president has helped raise prices rather than lowering them.

In a Yahoo/YouGov poll conducted Nov. 21-24, 49% of respondents said Trump’s actions since taking office for his second term in January have raised prices instead of cutting them. That’s a nearly two-to-one ratio to the 24% who said he’s done more to lower costs.

The survey also found more Americans (38%) blame Trump for inflation than his predecessor, former President Joe Biden (31%), despite the now-president campaigning on the economy during his successful 2024 presidential bid.

    It doesn’t matter what Americans say anymore. Trump can’t run again. If he manages to hold on to power past Jan 2029, he won’t need popular opinion (or votes) to do it.

      Trump can’t run again.

      Really?

      in four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good, you’re not gonna have to vote.

      -Trump on July 27, 2024
