Utahns Split on Trump’s Economic Impact as Living Costs Climb

A recent Deseret News article highlights Utahns' divided views on former President Donald Trump’s handling of inflation.

According to polling, 50% of Utah voters approve of his approach, while 43% disapprove. Opinions vary sharply by party, with 70% of Republicans supporting Trump compared to just 19% of Democrats.

Public perception of inflation is also mixed—31% say

it’s improved under Trump, 36% believe it’s worsened, and 33% see no change. Housing remains the biggest pressure point, with prices up 0.3% in May and 3.9% year-over-year. Groceries and dining rose slightly, but gasoline prices dropped 2.6% from April and 12% year-over-year. Despite concerns, the Mountain West region’s inflation rate remains among the nation’s lowest at 1.7%.

From refining your marketing strategy on a tight budget to accessing funding, mastering time management, building a strong digital presence, and benefiting from expert mentorship—this program provides essential tools, interactive workshops, and valuable connections to support your business growth every step of the way.
