"In a Fox News Poll out last evening, voters said the White House is doing more harm than good on the economy: 46% said they've been hurt by the administration's economic policies, 15% say they've been helped and 39% said Trump has made no difference. Edelman this week released a flash update to its highly influential Trust Barometer, showing Americans are deeply fearful and distrustful of the Trump administration's top domestic fixation: accelerating AI. Big majorities are pessimistic about the technology broadly, and super-anxious that robots will eat their jobs. The global poll found that younger people in the U.S. (18-34) are much more distrustful of AI than their counterparts elsewhere in the developed world. Edelman CEO Richard Edelman told us: "People might believe that AI is globalization 2.0 - that jobs will shift out of our country, and jobs will go to ... somebody younger or cheaper.""
"In Wisconsin, the swingiest of swing states, a new Marquette Law School Poll shows Democrats are more motivated and more popular heading into the 2026 elections. Voters are flunking Trump on the economy and inflation. These numbers are brutal: 36% approve of the Trump economy, and 28% approve of his handling of inflation and the cost of living. Looking to the future, 60% think Trump will drive prices even higher. Just 27% believe he'll lower them. A Marist Poll found Democrats have a 14-point lead over Republicans on the midterm generic ballot."
Five recent polls reveal mounting Republican challenges. A Fox News Poll found 46% of respondents say they have been hurt by the administration's economic policies, while 15% say they were helped and 39% say no difference. Edelman's Trust Barometer reports broad pessimism and deep distrust of accelerating AI, with younger U.S. adults notably anxious about job loss. In Wisconsin, Marquette data show Democrats more motivated and low approval for Trump on the economy (36%) and inflation handling (28%). Marist finds Democrats leading the midterm generic ballot by 14 points.
