Trump touts economy but polls show affordability struggles

(NewsNation) — Despite new polling indicating that Americans are struggling with affordability under the Trump administration, the president continues to tout the nation’s economy since returning to office.

A recent AP-NORC poll shows just 31 percent of voters approve President Trump’s handling of the economy — the lowest poll rating for either of Trump’s terms.

With pivotal midterm elections less than a year away, Trump has signaled that affordability is a primary concern, and new economic projections this week from the Federal Reserve reveal faster growth, lower inflation and steady unemployment could be on the horizon for 2026.

At a rally-style speech in Pennsylvania this week, Trump announced that he has “no higher priority than making America affordable again,” while also touting a healthy stock market and describing the media discussions surrounding affordability as a “hoax.”
