Donald Trump recently campaigned in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, vigorously defending his administration's economic record and rating the U.S. economy an "A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus," despite widespread public concern over rising costs.This optimistic assessment contradicts a Fox News survey showing 76% of voters view the economy negatively and 61% disapprove of his handling, while Senator Bernie Sanders also criticized Trump’s claims on CNN.Vice President JD Vance will visit Pennsylvania next week to address affordability, supporting the administration's core economic message ahead of the 2026 midterm elections where the cost of living remains a key issue.
