A recent Reuters poll indicates that President Donald Trump is polling worse than former President Joe Biden on economic issues, particularly regarding the cost of living. Currently, 70% of respondents disapprove of Trump's management of this issue, while only 22% approve. In contrast, Biden's approval rating was 29% at the end of his presidency. Trump's handling of inflation, which reached 3.8% in April, is under scrutiny, exacerbated by his ongoing conflict in Iran that has driven fuel prices up. Gasoline prices have surged to an average of $4.16 per gallon, a significant increase from $2.98 prior to the war. Despite some recent easing in prices, 59% of those surveyed expect domestic gas prices to rise further in the coming year. The poll also reveals broader discontent with Trump's presidency, as 63% of respondents disapprove of his overall performance, marking one of the lowest ratings of his political career. Additionally, 41% of registered voters indicate they would prefer Democrats over Republicans in upcoming congressional elections.
