President Donald Trump is now faring worse on the cost-of-living issue than former President Joe Biden did at the end of his term, according to a new Reuters\/Ipsos poll.<\/p>\n

The survey, conducted June 3\u20138 among 4,531 U.S. adults, shows 70 percent disapprove of Trump\u2019s handling of the cost of living, compared with just 22 percent who approve.<\/p>\n

\n

That marks a more negative assessment than Biden received when he left office, when 63 percent disapproved and 29 percent approved on the same issue.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

That is despite years of high inflation that helped define Biden\u2019s political struggles and ultimately contributed to Democratic losses in the 2024 election.<\/p>\n

Trump campaigned on promises to bring down inflation and ease economic pressure on American households. <\/p>\n

But persistent costs, especially at the gas pump, are now emerging as a central political challenge for Republicans heading into November\u2019s midterm elections, with voters continuing to express frustration over everyday expenses.<\/p>\n

Gas prices have shot up since Trump began his war with Iran in February, with the Strait of Hormuz, which carried a fifth of global oil trade, blockaded.<\/p>\n

The national average price for regular gas climbed above $4.50 a gallon, according to AAA. In seven states, the average price of gasoline has exceeded $5 per gallon.<\/p>\n

At the same time, inflation climbed to 3.8 percent in April, marking its highest level in almost three years.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

And the poll suggests voters do not think prices will come down anytime soon.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, 59 percent of respondents said they expect gas prices to rise further over the next year, compared with just 17 percent who believe they will fall.<\/p>\n

As a result, only 25 percent of respondents said Trump\u2019s military strikes on Iran were worth the consequences.<\/p>\n

That is bad news for Trump and his party heading into the midterms, when the economy will be at the top of voters\u2019 minds.<\/p>\n

While Republicans have previously held an advantage on economic issues, the poll shows that edge has narrowed sharply. <\/p>\n

In the latest poll, 36 percent of respondents said Democrats had a better plan for the economy, compared with 37 percent who favored Republicans.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Trump\u2019s overall approval rating remains near the lowest levels of his political career. <\/p>\n

The poll shows 63 percent disapprove of his job performance overall, while 35 percent approve, largely unchanged from mid-May. <\/p>\n

That figure sits just above his current-term low of 34 percent recorded in April and close to his first-term low of 33 percent in December 2017.<\/p>\n

The latest numbers have intensified concern among some Republican strategists ahead of the midterms, where party control of Congress could be at stake. <\/p>\n

Some advisers warn that fuel prices in particular could become a major political vulnerability.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe toughest thing, too, is that we made gas prices the Achilles\u2019 heel for Biden and now it\u2019s our own,\u201d one Republican adviser previously told Reuters.<\/p>\n

With economic sentiment shifting, the same poll shows registered voters would back Democrats over Republicans on a generic congressional ballot by 41 percent to 37 percent if elections were held today.<\/p>\n
