Trump 52 Points Underwater On Inflation As He Bleeds Base Support Three months into the Iran war, and Trump's approval

Pres Bill Clinton's old line--IT'S THE ECONOMY STUPID---certainly fits trumpy at this point.

By John Amato — May 28, 2026

Earlier today on CNN, pollster Harry Enten delivered more horrific polling news for Donald Trump on his handling of inflation, which shows his approval ratings have fallen into historically low levels of support. At the same time, his own voters have begun to turn on him as the cost of goods continues to rise.

Using Trump's own term to prop himself up in all regards, 'nobody has seen anything like this before.'

ENTEN: You know, Donald Trump has been struggling on inflation basically for well over a year now. It was of course what got him reelected back in 2024, the fact that Americans dislike Joe Biden's handling of inflation. But the Iran war has taken it to a whole new historic level.

Even if Vonshitzhispants gets a flimsy peace deal with Iran, overall inflation will not go down..........................
