Nearly a year into his second term, many in the U.S. say President Donald Trump now bears responsibility for the high cost of living — including a notable share of voters who supported him in the 2024 elections, according to new polling from POLITICO and Public First.
The survey finds that 46% of Americans say it is Trump's economy now, and that his administration is responsible for the affordability problems they face. That includes 37% of his 2024 voters who believe the cost of living is the worst they can remember.
