"Exit polls showed voters were fed up with high gas prices and inflation overall, and angry that Trump put America into a prolonged conflict with Iran before fixing the inflation he inherited from Joe Biden’s administration.
"Three quarters of voters in Tuesday's election described the U.S. economy as in "rough shape," and 39% said it was the primary reason for how they voted. Forty-four percent said their finances were worse today than when Trump took office.
"In many ways, Tuesday night resembled -- in reverse -- the 1994 election that ousted Democrats from power coast to coast during the Gingrich revolution and set the GOP on its modern path to power over similar frustration about affordability." . . . More.
