Trump's economic boasts clash with voter sentiment ahead of US midterms

Ahead of the US midterms, President Trump claims the economy is the greatest in history, but data shows higher inflation and lower growth than under Biden, with gas prices up ~50% since the Iran war. 73% of Americans rate the economy as fair or poor, indicating a disconnect between presidential rhetoric and voter perception. This divergence could influence midterm outcomes and market expectations of policy continuity.
