[US Media: Trump Claims "Inflation Problem Solved," But Data Shows No] According to the Wall Street Journal, President Trump claimed in an interview with "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday that "inflation is solved." However, according to data from the US Department of Labor, consumer prices rose 3.7% in September compared to the same period last year. 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, a 12-point lead in voters who believed congressional Republicans had handled the economy better than Democrats was now seen. But a recent Wall Street Journal poll found that voters who now believe Democrats have done a better job on the economy are 3 percentage points ahead. The economy remains a central issue in midterm elections across various polls.
