78% of Americans blame Trump policies for price hikes ahead of midterms

A Reuters/Ipsos poll shows 78% of Americans attribute some responsibility for price increases to President Trump's policies, with cost of living the top concern for both parties ahead of the November 3 legislative elections. Even 57% of Republican voters say costs are rising faster than salaries, highlighting a political vulnerability for Trump. The poll indicates that tariff and Iran war policies conflict with his 2024 campaign promise to end inflation, but the electoral impact remains uncertain.
