A Free Press Indiana poll conducted by Bellwether Research found that 54% of 839 likely voters in Indiana disapprove of President Donald Trump's job performance, while 44% approve, a sharp shift in a state he won by nearly 20 points in 2024. Ball State University political scientist Chad Kinsella linked the decline to skyrocketing gas prices from the war in Iran and rising inflation, which have frustrated Trump voters who expected lower costs. Republican support held steady, with only 15% disapproving, compared with 96% of Democrats and 69% of independents. Governor Mike Braun also has an underwater rating, with 48% disapproving and 38% approving, and 47% of respondents say Indiana is heading in the wrong direction. The survey was conducted October 8–11 with a margin of error of ±3.4 percentage points.

- Trump approval hits record low as midterms near : poll
A Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll conducted Oct. 9–13 found that 33% of Americans approve of Trump's job performance and 66% disapprove, a record low two weeks before the Nov. 3 midterms. His approval is down four points from July and eight from a year ago, and only 28% approve of his handling of the economy, with roughly 3 in 4 disapproving of how he has managed inflation and the cost of living. For the first time in over 10 years, Americans trust Democrats more than Republicans on the economy, and Democrats hold an eight-point lead for controlling the House. Republicans hold a 53-47 Senate majority, so Democrats would need to flip at least two seats in states Trump won by double digits in 2024, while also holding Georgia and Michigan.

A Democratic Senate would give them the power to block Trump's nominees and subpoena witnesses in potential investigations.

- An AI bust could come from places investors arent watching , an economist says
Concerns about an AI bubble are growing, and TS Lombard's Dario Perkins warns that investors may be overlooking other risks. Debt among smaller cloud providers, model developers and suppliers could reach $2 trillion by the end of 2027. Perkins does not see this as a systemic risk, but warns that earnings disappointments and canceled orders could ripple through the ecosystem, and that a chip glut could follow over-ordering. Much of the industry's revenue growth still comes from spending within the AI ecosystem rather than from businesses and consumers outside it. He also flags political backlash, noting that ordinary people dislike AI and nearby datacenters, and warns that one high-profile accident could turn AI toxic.
- Yen jumps after JGB auction draws big demand , euro finds relief
The yen rose 0.2% to 158.15 per dollar in Asian trading after a 20-year Japanese government bond auction drew bids of 5.84 times the amount sold, well above the 4.01 times at the previous auction, and the yield fell 6 basis points to 3.71%. A State Street strategist said the record demand suggests sidelined cash is returning and that JGBs are becoming a relative haven from political and fiscal volatility in Europe, particularly France. Anti-government protests in France prompted curfews in several cities, while Italy said it would send 500 troops after two days of unrest, and the euro rallied 0.2% to $1.1234. Elsewhere, bitcoin slipped 0.3% to $81,674.25 and ether edged down 0.2% to $2,393.21.
- Unemployment rate dips to 4 . 7 % - but vacancies hit five - year low
Vacancies fell by 21,000 to 691,000 in the three months to September, the biggest drop since the three months to March and the lowest since July to September 2014 outside the pandemic, while unemployment dipped in the three months to August. Payroll numbers were down 66,000 over the year to September. The ONS said the fall was mainly among smaller firms struggling with higher labour costs, following rises in employer national insurance, the minimum wage and workers' rights. A CBI survey found labour costs and regulations were making it harder to create jobs, and firms urged the Chancellor not to add to their burden in the October 28 Budget. ICAEW's Suren Thiru said the labour market is 'running on idle' and unemployment could climb above 5 per cent, while Shadow Chancellor Andrew Griffith blamed Labour's 'Jobs Tax' and red tape.

- NiSource (NI) Stock Looks Overvalued Against Its Dividend Outlook
NiSource has nearly doubled shareholders' money over the past five years, delivering a 97.6% total return, which raises the question of whether dividends can justify the current share price. The article highlights a new 20-year energy agreement with Microsoft, including customer-funded grid upgrades and long-term electric service for data centers, which may affect future capital needs and cash-flow visibility. Using a Dividend Discount Model with inputs of about $1.35 dividend per share, roughly 9.07% return on equity, a payout ratio slightly above 61%, and implied dividend growth of about 3.5%, the estimated intrinsic value sits meaningfully below the current share price of $41.95. The model still does not bridge that gap, suggesting income investors are paying a premium for a relatively steady payout with modest assumed growth.
