Trump Approval Falls to 41% as 55% Say His Policies Hurt Economy

Summary
41% of registered voters approve of Trump in a new NBC News poll, his second-term low, while 55% say his policies have hurt the economy.
55% marks a rise from 48% in March, with voters again naming the cost of living as the top national issue as the Iran war pushes up gasoline and other prices.
50%-45%, Democrats lead Republicans on preferred control of Congress ahead of the midterms, though that edge is narrower than their 12-point advantage at the same stage of the 2018 cycle.
31%-38% on inflation and 38%-39% on the economy, Republicans trail Democrats on the issues most tied to voter discontent; more than 6 in 10 voters also say the Iran war has not been worth it.
