Font size

The CBS exit poll in the United States pointed out that about 63% of voters were dissatisfied with President Trump's performance in office; one of the reasons for 44% of voters to vote was to express dissatisfaction with the government. Trump admitted on the CBS news program "60 Minutes" that the Iran war and the resulting spike in oil prices were unpopular, but he also believed that "he was not on the ballot" was one of the factors that contributed to the Republican Party's defeat.

Exit polls also showed that three-quarters of voters considered themselves to be in "bad" or "poor" economic conditions, and 70% of them voted for the Democratic Party. Voters are particularly worried about the cost of gasoline, food, utilities and medical insurance. Two-thirds of the people believe that Trump's tariff policies will harm the national economy.

Trump argued that the economic performance was "extraordinary", such as the retirement benefit plan "401(k)" achieving the best performance in history, and the problem was that "we did not accurately communicate it (to voters)." He predicts that the public will notice positive economic development in the next two to four months, including that its policies will restore prosperity to the manufacturing industry.

Talking about the substantial increase in his assets since the start of his second term, Trump claimed that his holdings were diversified throughout the stock market and that the company was managed by his children, spending almost no time managing assets and not prioritizing financial interests.
