Shock Poll Delivers a Midterm Warning — 55% Americans Say Trump’s Economy Is Failing Them
- A new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll reveals that 55% of Americans feel the economy is not working for them personally, the worst reading recorded in the survey, with 40% of voters saying they are 'very' dissatisfied.
- Economic struggles stem largely from the war in Iran, which has driven up gas prices and complicated supply chains; more than 80% of Americans report that rising fuel costs are putting a strain on household budgets.
- Surging costs have extended to the auto market, where the average loan balance reached $33,519 by late 2025, and household auto loan payments now consume nearly 20% of monthly income.
- Democrats lead Republicans by 10 points on the congressional ballot test ahead of the midterms, with 61% of Democratic voters reporting they are 'very enthusiastic' compared with 53% of Republicans.
- With midterms six months away, analysts view the election as a potential referendum on the administration, while tightening household budgets are already shifting consumer spending patterns and may pressure discretionary sectors into late 2026.
