Donald Trump has been dealt a hit after a poll released by CNN revealed the majority of US voters blame him for the state of the economy. Yesterday's CNN was halted to deliver the breaking news announcement that the majority of poll voters believe he's run the economy into the ground. Explaining the results, chief data analyst Harry Enten said: "Now Donald Trump may be trying to downplay voters' concerns about affordability, but I am here to tell you that is a ginormous error. It may be an error that goes down in political history. Why do I say that? Well, when Donald Trump was elected, he was elected to fix the problem of inflation. Right back in October 2024, who had more trust in inflation? It was Donald Trump with nine points over Kamala Harris.

"But look at where we are today. Donald Trump is underwater like the Titanic when it comes to inflation, and he's 26 points underwater. My goodness gracious."

As part of the poll, voters were asked which of the following former presidents was more responsible for the current economy: Joe Biden or Trump. Trump received 54 per cent of the votes.

In another part, it was revealed that 75 per cent of voters believe Trump is not paying enough attention to lowering costs.

However, during an interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham about affordability, Trump claimed: “More than anything else, it’s a con job by the Democrats. Costs are way down."

The leader also said it was "not even a big deal" when asked about a proposal to introduce 50-year mortgages.

He shared: “I mean, you go from 40 to 50 years." However, the journalist corrected him, saying 30 to 50 years.

Trump added: “I think polls are fake. We have the greatest economy we have ever had.”
