Analysis: Trump claims the inflation issue has been resolved, but data shows otherwise.

Odaily Planet Daily News: U.S. President Trump claimed during an interview with 'Fox & Friends' that 'the inflation issue has been resolved.' However, according to data from the U.S. Department of Labor, consumer prices rose 3.7% year-on-year in September. Persistently high energy prices are further burdening consumers. Polls show that Republicans have lost their electoral advantage on economic issues. In July 2025, six months after Trump's inauguration, the proportion of voters who believed Republican lawmakers handled economic issues better than Democrats was 12 percentage points higher. Yet a recent poll by The Wall Street Journal found that now, the proportion of voters who believe Democrats perform better on economic matters is 3 percentage points higher. Throughout various polls, the economy remains the most critical issue in the midterm elections. (The Wall Street Journal)
