Cost-of-living concerns create tough headwinds for GOP, says Ipsos' Cliff Young

With 54 days until the midterms, Ipsos' Cliff Young says Republicans are entering a difficult political environment, arguing President Trump's approval rating has slipped to 38.6%—a level he says has historically made it harder for a president to advance an agenda and help allies win elections. On "The Final 5 with Jim Lokay," Young contends that while issues like crime remain relevant, voters are overwhelmingly focused on the cost of living, which he believes will drive the election. He also points to Democrats' roughly 6.5-point advantage on the generic congressional ballot and notes that midterm history typically favors the party out of power, making Republican control of Congress increasingly vulnerable if current trends hold.
