"another stark warning. “Nearly 9 in 10 registered voters are also concerned about increasing inflation,”

"certain gathering threats could sink support for the president and his party. “Immigration is a growing vulnerability for the president,” John Anzalone and his team warned... “Voters do not feel he has a plan to address the situation on the border, and it is starting to take a toll..."
