距离选举日还有不到3周时间，汽油和柴油价格丝毫没有下降的迹象。近一年来，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普一直试图说服选民不要对物价上涨感到恼火。
With less than 3 weeks until election day, gas and diesel prices show no signs of falling For nearly a year, U.S. President Donald Trump has been trying to persuade voters not to get riled up over rising prices.
特朗普将人们对生活成本的担忧斥为“民主党人的骗局”，坚称在他任内消费者价格一直在下降（而实际上这些价格一直在上涨），并多次声称在他对伊朗发动战争后大幅飙升的汽油和柴油价格很快就会开始回落。
Trump has brushed off concerns about affordability as a "con job by Democrats," insisted consumer prices had fallen during his term when they'd actually risen, and repeatedly claimed the costs of gas and diesel — up sharply after he launched the war against Iran — would start falling soon.
大量民调显示选民并不买账特朗普的这套说辞，受访者对他在生活成本问题上的表现给出了低分。
Numerous polls suggest voters aren't buying Trump's sales pitch, with respondents giving him low marks on the cost of living.
根据汇集公开民调的“银色公告牌”网站的数据，在近期的民调中，平均有超过70%的美国受访者不赞同特朗普对通货膨胀的处理方式。
On average, more than 70 per cent of American respondents in recent polls disapprove of Trump's handling of inflation, according to Silver Bulletin, which aggregates public polling.

波士顿爱默生学院民调中心执行主任斯潘塞·金博尔表示，民调表明，经济是全美选民进入中期选举时最关心的核心议题。
Polling indicates that the economy is the top issue for voters across the U.S. heading into the midterms, says Spencer Kimball, executive director of Emerson College Polling Center in Boston.
他指出，深入分析数据后就会发现，是生活成本——而不是工作岗位或税收——构成了这些经济担忧的根源。“日常开销”“看起来这只是开始堆积的日常开销，人们担心自己是否还能负担得起，”金博尔在接受加拿大广播公司新闻网采访时表示。
Drill down further into the data, and he says it's the cost of living — rather than jobs or taxes — underlying those concerns about the economy. 'Everyday expenses' "It looks like it's just everyday expenses that are beginning to pile up and people are concerned about being able to afford," Kimball told CBC News.
他说：“很难想象在接下来的3周内会有办法解决油价或与之相关的其他生活成本问题。”
"It's hard to imagine in the next three weeks there'll be a solution to the gas price or the other costs of living associated with that," he said.

CBC ExplainsYour guide to the U.S. midterms, and why they're crucial for Donald Trump The Democrats are surging as the U.S. midterms near. Here's the data that has Trump's Republicans spooked Tim Malloy, polling analyst with the Quinnipiac University Poll in Hamden, Conn., describes Trump's travels as "a last mad dash" to try to shore up Republican candidates who should not have been in jeopardy during the midterms but are now at risk of losing largely because of cost of living issues.
马洛伊对加拿大广播公司新闻网说：“如果你是共和党人，此时此刻你能打出什么‘万灵丹’或者轰出什么全垒打？我不知道。时间真的、真的太晚了。”
"What Hail Mary pass or home run can you hit at this point if you're the Republicans? I don't know. It's really, really late in the day," Malloy told CBC News.
他说，油价是民调中显现的最主要关切，而选民正将责任归咎于特朗普。
He says gas prices are the predominant concern showing up in polling and voters are pinning the blame on Trump.
马洛伊说：“所有这一切都与总统曾声称战争会很快结束这一事实息息相关。总统没有兑现他对美国人民作出的承诺，大家已经有点受够了，而中期选举马上就要到了。”
"All of that is tied into the fact that the president said the war would be over very quickly," Malloy said. "The president has not lived up to the promise he made to Americans, and they're kind of fed up and the midterms are coming."
