Fox News Poll Finds Economic Concerns Shaping Voters’ Views Ahead of Midterms
The poll found 63% of Americans say Trump has made the economy worse, while 62% call grocery prices a major problem.
On Wednesday, Fox News chief political analyst Brit Hume presented poll results showing 63% of Americans believe President Donald Trump's administration has made the economy worse, marking an 11-point increase in negative perception since 2025.
Rising costs are driving this frustration, with 62% of respondents citing grocery prices and 61% flagging gas prices as 'major problem,' representing a 13% increase in voter concern since the 2024 election cycle.
Voter frustration extends to policy, as discontent with Trump's tariffs grew to 64% over the last year, while only 8% of those polled expressed enthusiasm for current government operations.
Vice President JD Vance urged voters to 'give us another couple of years' to continue the administration's work, though Hume argued these price-driven frustrations are 'plaguing' the GOP and dragging down approval ratings ahead of 2026 midterms.
Next week, President Trump will meet with Gulf leaders at the UN General Assembly to discuss a potential plan to end the Iran war, potentially addressing a political liability before the midterm elections.
