Several new national polls released this week showed declining public approval for economic conditions and foreign policy. A Fox News survey conducted May 15-18, 2026, found 77 percent of respondents described the economy as weak, up from 73 percent the previous month. The poll was carried out by Beacon Research and Shaw & Company Research.
Nearly six in 10 respondents identified rising living costs as their top financial concern. Half of those surveyed said their household finances had worsened over the past two years. Economic approval stood at 29 percent in the Fox News poll. The survey also recorded lower marks for handling of affordability issues.
