Inflation Fears Threaten Voter Confidence Ahead of Midterms

American voters are increasingly worried about the economy as living costs rise, according to new data. Consumer confidence has dropped sharply. This decline comes as inflation speeds up, job growth slows, and energy prices climb due to tensions in the Middle East. These economic pressures are building despite strong growth in the third quarter. The combination of high prices and slowing job growth is now a central concern for voters before the November midterm elections.
