THE TRUMP-REPUBLICAN ECONOMIC SLUMP CONTINUES:
*. Americans are losing confidence in the economy under Donald Trump and Republican control of Washington. New Gallup polling shows economic confidence has dropped to a nearly four-year low.
*. Just 16% of Americans rate the economy as “excellent” or “good,” while nearly half say the economy is “poor.”
*. Republicans control the White House, House of Representatives, and Senate - and are fully responsible for the nation’s economic slump.
*. Three out of four Americans say economic conditions are getting worse, not better.
*. Consumer sentiment has now fallen to its lowest point since the University of Michigan began tracking it in 1952.
*. Trump promised to lower costs, but families are facing higher prices everywhere they turn, from groceries to gas pumps.
*. Inflation and rising costs are wiping out household budgets, and Americans are increasingly naming gas prices and the cost of living as top concerns.
*. Trump’s own approval rating has dropped to just 36%, his lowest since returning to office.
*. Californians understand that working families need relief, stability, and leadership focused on affordability — not political chaos and economic uncertainty.
*. California Democrats remain focused on protecting jobs, lowering costs, defending health care access, and building an economy that works for everyone, not just billionaires and corporate insiders.
*. As voters head toward the midterms, the contrast is becoming clearer every day: Democrats are fighting to lower costs and protect working families, while Republicans continue to defend policies that are driving economic anxiety and instability.
