Brutal Poll Reveals Trump Voters Blame Him for Major Problem

The “MAGA” slogan has backfired on Donald Trump due to the cost-of-living crisis, which nearly half of Americans describe as the worst they have ever experienced, according to an alarming poll.

A Politico poll reveals that 46% of Americans believe the rising cost of living in the United States is attributable to the Republican president.

Even 37% of those who voted for Trump in 2024 say they cannot recall a worse situation.

Trump has consistently blamed his Democratic predecessor, President Joe Biden, during his second term.

This strategy now appears to be failing.

“Voters aren’t going to say, ‘I voted for Trump to improve the economy, but Biden has significantly slowed it down,’” Barrett Marson, a Republican strategist from Arizona, told Politico.

Voters will quickly forget Joe Biden and redirect their anger toward Trump, unless the situation improves.

Even at this relatively early stage of his second term in the White House, the signs are not encouraging. According to various polls, Trump’s national approval rating fluctuates between 38% and 42%.

The president’s opponents seem to have sensed trouble, as Democratic leaders have increasingly capitalized on voter discontent with the high cost of living in campaigns that have allowed them to rack up victories in local, state, and gubernatorial elections last month.

These victories include the appointment of Democratic governors in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as Zahran Mamdani’s landslide victory in the New York City mayoral election.

This momentum appears to have been reinforced by the Democrats’ strong performance in the Tennessee congressional runoff election earlier on Tuesday.

Although the party’s candidate, Aftin Behn, lost to Republican Matt Van Eppes by nine points, this result represents a significant decline in support for the Republican Party in a state where Trump won the presidential election by more than 22 points last year.

Commenting on the results, Republican strategist Ford O’Connell said: “This is a simple warning, but one that Republicans should heed. Retaining a majority in the House in 2026 will require a collective effort.”
