I\u2019m Shrai Popat and I\u2019ll be bringing you the latest from Washington and beyond.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">We start today with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/12\/10\/poll-affordability-cost-of-living-00678076\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">a new poll from Politico<\/a><\/strong> that shows two particularly important statistics. <strong>Almost half of Americans find their monthly bills (from groceries, to healthcare, to utilities) difficult to afford<\/strong>. While<strong> 55% of Americans blame the Trump administration <\/strong>for high prices at the grocery store.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">This data comes after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/us-news\/donaldtrump\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\">Donald Trump<\/a> held the first rally-style event in a tour to tout his self-proclaimed success in bringing down the cost of living since he returned to office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">In a winding, 90-minute speech in Mount Pocono, Pennsylvania, the president called affordability a \u201choax\u201d (a stance he\u2019s repeated in recent weeks) and bashed Democrats and his predecessor, Joe Biden, for high prices. \u201cWe\u2019re bringing them down,\u201d he insisted on Tuesday evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Trump also claimed he was \u201ccrushing\u201d inflation, and \u201cinflation is stopped\u201d. While inflation <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/business\/2025\/oct\/16\/inflation-economic-pessimism-poll\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">declined<\/a> from an annual rate of 3% in January to 2.9% in August, it has remained ahead of the Federal Reserve\u2019s 2% target.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">Politico\u2019s poll also had more telling numbers about specific instances where Americans are having to forego vital services. 27 % of respondents said they have skipped a medical check-up because of costs within the last two years, and 23 % said they have skipped a prescription dose for the same reason.<\/p>\n<footer class=\"dcr-3i7iba\"><gu-island name=\"ShareButton\" priority=\"feature\" deferuntil=\"visible\"
