选民今天在美国中期选举中投票，选举受到生活成本担忧的影响，民调显示民主党有望夺取至少一院议会的控制权。今天公布的调查显示，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的支持率接近历史低点，显示选民对他处理通胀的方式特别不满。
Voters cast ballots today in US midterm elections that have been shaped by cost-of-living worries, with polls indicating Democrats are well positioned to wrest control of at least one chamber of Congress. Surveys published today pegged US President Donald Trump’s approval rating near record lows, showing voters are particularly dissatisfied with his handling of inflation.
尽管他不在选票上，特朗普在可负担性辩论中仍是核心人物：批评者认为他的伊朗战争和关税刺激了通胀，尽管专家警告，谁控制国会几乎没有区别。华尔街日报首席经济评论员写道：“许多选民周二前往投票站，希望能解决可负担性问题。他们会失望。”
Though he is not on the ballot, Trump has been central in the affordability debate: Critics argue his war against Iran and tariffs have stoked inflation, though experts warned who controls Congress will make little difference. “A lot of voters head to the polls Tuesday hoping for a fix for affordability,” The Wall Street Journal’s chief economics commentator wrote. “They are going to be disappointed.”
