AP-NORC poll: voters favor Democrats over Republicans on cost of living, 38% to 27%, but doubt both
Democrats have also gained on the economy since February.
About 4 in 10 registered voters now pick Democrats on the economy, up from 26% of U.S. adults in February, though the two samples differ, so the gain is not a clean comparison. Friday's AP-NORC story, on Oct. 2, covered Trump's economic approval. This one asks which party voters trust.
Neither party gets much trust:
- 55% say Republicans can't solve important problems; 48% say the same of Democrats.
- About 6 in 10 say the GOP focuses on the rich.
- 68% of registered voters call Trump 'too extreme.'
