Vice President JD Vance told CBS News that it could take time to see the economy improve, saying fixing problems would take more than 18 months, during a Michigan town hall that aired Saturday evening. Responding to a woman whose small business is struggling, he noted that polls show most Americans are dissatisfied with the economy and inflation, and that most voters blame the Trump administration’s policies. President Trump, by contrast, gave his administration an “A+” on the economy. Vance argued that factories must be built before workers can be employed there, and said, “we’re turning the ship around.”

- Donald Trump Approval At Record Low Disastrous Economy & Inflation Might Play A Part
A Reuters/Ipsos poll found that 31% of Americans approve of President Donald Trump's performance, down one point from two weeks earlier and the lowest level in either of his terms. Some 68% disapprove of his handling of the economy, including 37% of Republicans, with voters citing high gasoline prices after the February military strikes on Iran alongside Israel. In a generic congressional ballot, 47% said they would vote for Democrats and 35% for Republicans, and 40% favored Democrats on managing the economy versus 33% for Republicans. The article argues that tariffs, rising grocery and electricity prices, changes to fuel-economy and EV policy, and Trump's ties to crypto and fossil fuel billionaires also weigh on public opinion.
- Trump approval hits record low , handing Democrats a clear midterm edge
A new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll shows President Donald Trump's approval among U.S. adults has fallen to 33 percent, with 66 percent disapproving, the lowest of his first term. Among likely voters, approval stands at 38 percent. Democrats now hold a clear lead in the fight for control of the House and, for the first time in more than a decade, are seen as more trusted to handle the economy. Voters prefer a Democratic-led Congress as a check on Trump over a Republican one supporting his agenda by 58 percent to 39 percent, while 72 percent say the country is heading in the wrong direction. Inflation, gasoline prices and the Iran war are major threats to Republicans, whose campaign money advantage is now shifting to protect candidates in redder areas.
- 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.

- UPS Yields 6.7% After Firing Amazon. Here's Whether the Dividend Survives 2027.
UPS shares yield 6.7% as of October 16. The company has moved away from high-volume, low-margin Amazon deliveries and froze its dividend earlier this year, ending a 16-year streak of increases. The article says the payout will likely remain frozen through 2026 and 2027, citing competition from 10- and 30-year Treasury yields above 5% and other industrial dividend payers, but calls the dividend's safety questionable: UPS generated $5.47 billion in free cash flow in 2025, with $5.4 billion going to dividends, and free cash flow is projected to fall to $5.05 billion in 2026 and $5.01 billion in 2027, with the dividend absorbing about 98% of 2026 free cash flow. Rising competition and high fuel prices add pressure, and the article suggests investors may find more safety in the industrial sector.

- What Could X-Energy (XE) Gain From Its 960MW Indiana Nuclear Project?
X-Energy (NasdaqGS:XE), American Electric Power and Amazon agreed to assess a 960 MW advanced nuclear project in Indiana using Xe-100 reactors, on a former coal plant site. Under the joint development agreement, Amazon would provide development funding and commit to a long-term power purchase. The article says the deal offers commercial validation for X-Energy's reactor platform rather than immediate financial relief, as the company, with a $4.3b market cap, reported $150.28 million in revenue, a $448.87 million loss, and a 20.2x price-to-sales ratio. The next key milestone is whether the study reaches a final investment decision for the Sullivan County site.
