The Los Angeles Times reports that Republicans are increasingly unhappy with Trump's economic performance due to rising gas prices driven by the war with Iran. Despite this, most still support him, as highlighted by a recent AP-NORC poll. The poll also shows that Trump's handling of immigration remains a strong point among Republicans.

The economic anxieties among swing voters are significant, with many feeling that Trump is out of touch with their financial struggles.
