As US midterm elections approach, cost-of-living concerns dominate voter sentiment, with 60% citing it as their top economic issue. Inflation remains above the Federal Reserve's 2% target, driven largely by a 34.2% year-over-year surge in gasoline prices due to tensions with Iran impacting oil supplies. Experts note that while overall inflation has eased from its 2022 peak, prices have settled at a higher baseline, affecting household budgets and political views. This economic pressure creates challenges for Republicans who campaigned on lowering prices, as voters face high mortgage rates, consumer debt, and tariffs that increase costs, influencing election outcomes and policy debates.
