President Trump delivered his State of the Union address, emphasizing a strong economy with falling inflation, rising stocks, and job growth. He claimed lower mortgage rates and gas prices, booming markets, and increased oil production and investment. However, data contradicts his narrative: inflation stalled and rose last year, factory jobs were lost, and voters express significant anxiety. Fifty-six percent disapprove of his economic handling, per Reuters/Ipsos polling, creating a challenge for Republicans as they fight to retain control of Congress in November's midterms.
