What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A New York Times/Siena poll showed that 75 per cent of voters believe the economy is fair or poor, with most holding Donald Trump accountable for economic conditions. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that inflation rose faster and more broadly than expected two weeks ago. This inflation is compounded by the war in the Middle East, which has driven gas prices up by more than 30 per cent to over US$4 a gallon.
