Trump's approval rating rises to 40% ahead of midterms, Marquette poll finds

President Trump's approval rating rose two points to 40% ahead of the midterms, while inflation and cost of living remain Americans' top concern. The Marquette Law School Poll, conducted July 22-29, found 35% cite inflation as top personal concern, down from 37% in May. Sixty-one percent predict Trump's policies will raise inflation; only 21% expect lower prices. Democrats lead the generic ballot 46% to 44% among registered voters, but lead wider among likely voters. Supreme Court approval stands at 47%, split sharply by party.
