On average, 39% for, 58% against: Americans are increasingly skeptical of what used to be Donald Trump’s flagship, his ability to revive the economy. In the United States, seven out of 10 people feel that their financial situation is worsening and getting worse with the spike in gasoline prices linked to the war in Iran.
