Trump claims inflation policies are working, but polls show most Americans blame him for higher gas and living costs.
About half of registered voters - 53% - oppose U.S. military action against Iran, according to a new Quinnipiac Poll conducted over the weekend. Only 4 in 10 support it, and about 1 in 10 are uncertain. A new Ipsos poll also found more disapprove than approve of the strikes.
Trump has been dismissing negative polls about the economy as fake, including in Truth Social posts this week where he complained he's not getting enough credit for fixing the mess left by former President Joe Biden. When will I get credit for having created, with No Inflation, perhaps the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country? When will people understand what is happening?
