With the US midterm election about six weeks away, President Donald Trump's approval rating is near record lows. Voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans on a laundry list of issues: to handle the economy, health care, immigration, the deficit, cost of living and foreign wars, according to a fresh New York Times/Siena poll. "Inflation is still high, consumers are feeling it" and come polling day, voters will be thinking about "affordability, affordability, affordability", says Timothy O'Brien, Senior Executive Editor for Bloomberg Opinion. O'Brien joins "The Pulse with Francine Lacqua" to discuss what's at stake for the Trump administration, and what voters are most concerned about heading into the election.
