Trump may become the face of economic discontent, a year after such worries helped him win big

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump got a serious warning from voters that he’s out of touch with their fears about a deteriorating U.S. economy.

Democrats were able to run up the score in key races across the country on Tuesday by harnessing some of the same populist fervor that helped get Trump reelected a year ago — but also by focusing on the kitchen table issues the Republican had vowed to fix. Now, as the incumbent, fears about the economy have made Trump the face of much of the public’s discontent.
