Overview
- Trump’s standing on inflation, which CNN highlighted Wednesday, fell to a net -49 in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll.
- CNN chief data analyst Harry Enten said the figure marks his worst reading for any president on the issue.
- The result is lower than Joe Biden’s June 2022 low of -43 and below Jimmy Carter’s -46 on the same measure.
- Inflation and the cost of living rank as voters’ top worry, with 75% of independents saying the country is on the wrong track on costs and a plurality of Republicans saying the same.
- Enten noted prices are rising more slowly than in 2022, yet public grades for Trump on inflation have sunk further, a gap that outlets like Raw Story, HuffPost, and Mediaite stressed in sharp terms.
