Polls Show Trump Deep Underwater on Inflation After Near-50-Point Slide

The collapse on a top voter concern now threatens Republican control of Congress.

Overview

  • CNN's Harry Enten, in a Monday segment, said new polls from NBC, CBS, Ipsos-Reuters, CNN, and UMass Amherst put Trump 36 to 47 points underwater on inflation.
  • He said the surveys average about 42 points negative, which he called a near 50-point drop from Trump's 2024 edge on the issue.
  • Among independents, he cited a move from a 10-point advantage in 2024 to roughly 60 points underwater now, a swing of about 70 points.
  • Enten warned that if these ratings hold, Republicans could lose the House majority and possibly the Senate in the midterms.
  • Polls show voters rank inflation as their top concern, reflecting higher costs for gas, groceries, and housing that strain family budgets.
