Trump’s Independent Voter Support Plummets: A Midterm Election Game-Changer?
Washington D.C., Saturday, 13 June 2026.
A new AP-NORC poll reveals a dramatic 18-point drop in independent voter support for President Trump since 2024, with approval now at just 25%.

London, Saturday, 13 June 2026.

Businesses across sectors—from manufacturing to hospitality—cited the Iran war as a key factor stifling growth. With inflation fears resurfacing and the Bank of England warning of a potential 6% spike, economists predict further slowdowns. The contraction underscores Europe’s vulnerability to geopolitical shocks, raising urgent questions about the UK’s economic resilience amid prolonged instability.
