Americans, even some of his own voters, are growing impatient with President Donald Trump’s handling of the economy and his approach to stamping out inflation that skyrocketed under his predecessor, Joe Biden.
The inflation rate reached a scorching high of 9% under Biden’s administration in 2022, and that number has since dropped to approximately 3% in September. It also dropped during the very tail end of Biden’s presidency.
However, everyone is still feeling the pain of high prices. Whether it’s housing, groceries, or utility bills, prices are eating away at people’s paychecks and savings, while many young college graduates struggle to even find employment. CEO compensation grew in 2024, but for many working and middle-class Americans, wages have remained largely stagnant over the past year.
A new Politico poll published Thursday is the latest evidence that Americans across the political spectrum are growing frustrated with Trump and the economy.
The poll surveyed just over 2,000 U.S. adults between Nov. 14 and 17.Thirty-seven percent of Trump voters said that their cost of living is the worst they can remember, while 34% said their cost of living is bad but has been worse in the past.
