With just three weeks left until the midterm elections, 90 percent of Americans expressed concern about the state of the U.S. economy – and 80 percent say inflation will play a role in the way they cast their ballots in November.

Nearly 10 percent more respondents say they trust Republicans more than Democrats to handle inflation at the congressional level in a 46-37 percent margin, according to a Politico/Morning Consult poll released Wednesday.

The plurality of voters in the poll conducted October 14-16 say that they trust Republicans in Congress more to handle issues like jobs and the economy. When it comes to the economy overall, 46 percent of respondents say they trust the GOP while 45 percent said they believe Republicans could aptly handle jobs recovery.

The poll is yet another dire result for Democrats as Republicans vie to take back the majority in the House and Senate in the midst of an economic crisis that has seen 40-year high inflation and an impending recession.

The 2,005 Americans polled aren't optimistic, with 53 percent claiming they think the economy will only get worse in the next year.

Seventy-one percent of Republicans feel the economy will worsen, while only 33 percent of Democrats feel the same. A majority of independent votes – 56 percent – say it's likely to worsen over the next year.

Dem economists at work ...

[LMAO]

These polls are eerily similar to the late 1970s polling

This is bleeding well into the Dem base. Forget them voting GOP, they may be too discouraged to even show up.

Either works for me.

I was behind a woman at Kroger today. She bought over $300 worth of things - including a lot of snacks and name-brand items - and when the cashier said she owed x number of dollars, she looked surprised and said, "Why? Did food stamps not cover it?"

Turns out she also bought some decorative gourds (little pumpkins and the like) that SNAP for some crazy reason doesn't consider "food." So she reluctantly dug out a few dollar bills, and left with her two full shopping carts.

I suspect that SNAP recipients are not all that worried about inflation.
