Trump: Inflation problem solved; data and polls show economic issues remain a challenge.

In an interview with Fox & Friends, US President Trump stated that the inflation problem has been resolved. Data from the US Department of Labor shows that consumer prices rose 3.7% in September compared to the same period last year, with energy prices adding to the burden on consumers. Polls show Democrats leading Republicans by 3 percentage points on economic issues, making the economy a core issue in the midterm elections. (Source: Wall Street Journal)
