Presidential polls 2024: Inflation check

In the lead-up to the 2024 presidential election, the battle over the economy and inflation has intensified, pitting President Joe Biden against his predecessor, Donald Trump. Biden recently celebrated a modest decline in inflation, the first in four years, with June's consumer price index showing a 0.1% drop. Despite this, costs for essentials like food and housing remain stubbornly high, with prices up 3% from a year earlier.
