Trump hits campaign trail as voters voice economic anxiety

President Trump is back on the campaign trail trying to give Republicans a boost ahead of next month's midterm elections. But with the cost of living still top of mind for voters, Democrats say the president's economic message isn't matching what Americans are feeling at home. Alexander Hoff has more from Washington this morning. Good morning. Good morning, Desiree. President Trump briefly arriving back at the White House around 4.15 this morning, wrapping up his multi-state western swing. The aggressive campaign schedule will continue as a new Fox News poll suggests the economy is the GOP's biggest obstacle. President Trump back on the campaign trail and back to making his case to voters. Because of the price of oil, Texas and Oklahoma and North Dakota and all these places, we're making a fortune. But while the president touts his economic record, a new Fox News poll shows voters are still feeling the pinch. 59% say the cost of living is the country's top economic problem. And nearly three out of four voters rate the economy as only fair or poor. Democrats are seizing on the economic anxiety, arguing the president's promises have yet to deliver relief. But Republicans insist the president's economic agenda needs more time. He's fighting for the American workers out there. He knows people are suffering. He's trying to do his best, but it's going to take some time still. And with control of Congress on the line, Republicans are counting on Trump to energize their base. No one is better than President Trump of bringing out the base and articulating why he's president and why he won. But Democrats say the president's presence on the campaign trail could work in their favor. And the White House is pushing back on concerns about inflation, pointing to wage growth and tax cuts. The president's upcoming schedule includes stops in Kentucky, Kansas, North Carolina, and Georgia. Desiree. Right now, Alexandra, a Fox News poll shows that 77% of voters right now disapprove with how the president and administration is handling that issue of inflation. So of course, all eyes on on this as we get closer to the midterm. We appreciate you there in Washington for us. Thanks. Thank you.
