Introduction

New polls show that many people do not like how President Trump manages money. Things cost more and there is a war in Iran.

Main Body

Many people are unhappy. In 2025, people liked the economy. Now, in 2026, most people do not like it. The numbers are very low. Gas and food cost more money. Gas is now $4.50 for one gallon. Plane tickets and hotels are also expensive. People think the President's rules and the war in Iran caused these high prices. This is bad for the next election. Only six states still like the President. Young people and independent voters do not like him. The President's team says they are okay. They say the high prices are only for a short time. They believe tax cuts will help people buy houses soon.

Conclusion

The President has a big problem. People are unhappy with money, and this may change the next election.
