A new Fox News poll finds some 76% of voters view the economy negatively.

“That’s worse than the 67% who felt that way in July, and the 70% who said the same at the end of former President Biden’s term.”

Also important: “Voters blame the president. About twice as many say President Donald Trump, rather than Biden, is responsible for the current economy. And three times as many say Trump’s economic policies have hurt them.”

And more: “Approval of how Trump is handling the economy hit a new low and disapproval of his overall job performance hit record highs among core supporters.”

Playbook: “For politicians eyeing the midterms, the only economic fact that matters is that too many voters who struggled to make ends meet last year have felt little or no improvement in their finances. But so far, Trump — typically such a powerful deliverer of political messages — just doesn’t seem to have his heart in a cost-of-living campaign.”

“Every day, Trump speaks passionately about his achievements — a record-breaking stock market, big reductions in egg and gasoline prices, strong earnings growth, no tax on tips. But there’s no acknowledgement his supporters are still struggling, no promise to tackle their concerns head-on.”

“In fact, Trump seems to find the whole debate to be a bit of nonsense.”

“Your financial situation — not just what you earn but whether you’re in over your head — is strongly linked to how you feel about democracy, according to a significant new study by Gallup and the Charles F. Kettering Foundation,” Axios reports.
