Pennsylvania Poll Shows Decline in Approval of Donald Trump's Economic Handling
What happened
A poll of likely voters in Pennsylvania found that President Donald Trump's overall job-approval rating had dropped to 34% among those surveyed, with 63% disapproval. The poll, conducted between September 15 and 21, showed that voters were increasingly critical of Trump's handling of gas prices and the cost of living. The article cited Robert Jenkins, a 47-year-old resident of East Stroudsburg, as an example of this sentiment.

Why it matters
