Majority of Iowa and Ohio voters blame President Donald Trump's policies for rising living costs
In the United States, recent CNN polls in Iowa and Ohio show that about three-quarters of voters believe President Donald Trump's policies have increased the cost of living. Even half of Republicans in these states agree. The polls also indicate competitive Senate and gubernatorial races, with Democrats leading in both states. High gas prices, linked to the Iran war, are causing hardship for many residents. Trump's approval rating has dropped to 36 percent, and economic concerns may influence the upcoming midterm elections.
