据了解相关谈话的消息人士向CBS新闻透露，白宫官员已私下讨论他们对近期有关经济和特朗普总统的内部及公开民调的担忧，并一直在酝酿新策略，以防止共和党在中期选举中失利。
包括办公厅主任苏西·怀尔斯（Susie Wiles）和副办公厅主任詹姆斯·布莱尔（James Blair）在内的高级助手会定期向总统汇报有关选民情绪的最新民调结果。
谈话的核心焦点是独立选民的不满情绪——自特朗普政府的关税引发全球经济不确定性，以及美国对伊朗采取军事行动导致汽油价格飙升以来，这些选民对经济的焦虑情绪有所上升。
据美国汽车协会（AAA）数据，周二美国汽油价格自2022年以来首次突破每加仑4美元。多名官员承认，如果不扭转当前的民调趋势，共和党将在中期选举中遭遇失利。
一名共和党消息人士称，众议院席位将对共和党来说形势严峻，但共和党预计仍将掌控参议院。
CBS新闻近期的民调显示，特朗普在独立选民中的支持率为31%，69%的独立选民不认可他的表现。
怀尔斯已多次要求政府官员提出降低民众生活成本的举措方案，这是特朗普第二届政府自上任以来一直在推进的一项持续性指令。
“‘史诗之怒行动’结束后，汽油价格将大幅回落至美国司机在这些短期中断前享有的多年低位，”白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特（Karoline Leavitt）在周二的一份声明中表示。
白宫发言人库什·德赛（Kush Desai）在一份声明中称，总统“一直明确表示‘史诗之怒行动’会带来短期 disruptions（中断/影响），本届政府已制定计划缓解这些冲击，同时继续通过落实总统 proven（已被验证的）减税、放松管制和能源充裕经济议程，恢复长期的工薪阶层繁荣”。
德赛还提及总统发布的“多项关于住房负担能力的行政命令”，并提到了TrumpRx.gov网站以及其他举措，例如不向小费或加班费征税，以及将儿童纳入特朗普相关计划，作为政府减轻美国人经济压力的努力的一部分。
最新的CBS新闻民调发现，大多数美国人表示所在地区的汽油价格正在上涨，这加剧了人们对经济的负面看法。对经济衰退的担忧小幅上升，目前三分之一的美国人预计未来一年将出现经济衰退。
67%的美国人表示，在伊朗冲突期间，他们不愿意在加油站支付更高的油价。
民调显示，特朗普的整体支持率自伊朗冲突爆发以来几乎没有变化。数月来，他的支持率一直维持在40%或略高于40%的水平，他继续获得共和党人的强力支持。他的不支持率为60%。
据Real Clear Polling统计，民调平均数据显示，特朗普的支持率处于其第二届任期以来的最低水平，平均支持率仅为41%。

White House officials have privately discussed their concerns about recent internal and public polling on the economy and President Trump and have been trying to drum up new strategies to prevent GOP losses in the midterm elections, sources briefed on the conversations told CBS News.
Senior aides, including chief of staff Susie Wiles and deputy chief of staff James Blair, regularly brief the president on the latest polling on voter sentiment.
A central focus is the dissatisfaction of independent voters, whose economic angst has risen since the president’s tariffs triggered global economic uncertainty and gas prices began to spike as a result of the U.S. military action against Iran.
On Tuesday, gasoline prices in the U.S. topped $4 a gallon for the first time since 2022, according to AAA. Several officials concede there will be Republican losses in the midterms if they don’t turn around the trending numbers.
A Republican source says the House will be difficult for the GOP, but Republicans expect to retain control of the Senate.
CBS News’ recent polling found Mr. Trump’s approval rating among independents is 31%, with 69% who disapprove.
Wiles has repeatedly asked administration officials for ideas for initiatives to lower costs, an ongoing directive since the beginning of Mr. Trump’s second administration.
“When Operation Epic Fury is complete, gas prices will plummet back to the multi-year lows American drivers enjoyed before these short-term disruptions,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement Tuesday.
White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement that the president “has always been clear about short-term disruptions as a result of Operation Epic Fury, and the Administration has had a plan in place to mitigate these disruptions while continuing to restore long-term working-class prosperity by implementing the President’s proven economic agenda of tax cuts, deregulation, and energy abundance.”
Desai also pointed to the president’s “multiple executive orders on housing affordability” and cited TrumpRx.gov and other initiatives, such as not taxing tips or overtime and Trump accounts for children as part of the administration’s efforts to ease financial pressure on Americans.
The latest CBS News poll found the majority of Americans say gas prices in their area are going up, which is fueling negative feelings about the economy. Fears of a recession have ticked slightly higher, with a third of Americans now bracing for a recession in the next year.
Sixty-seven percent of Americans say they are unwilling to pay more at the pump during the conflict in Iran.
The poll found Mr. Trump’s overall approval rating to be virtually unchanged since before the start of the Iran conflict. It has been at 40% or in the low 40s for many months, and he continues to draw strong backing from Republicans. His disapproval rating sits at 60%.
Polling averages show that Mr. Trump is at his lowest approval rating of his second administration with an average approval rating of just 41%, according to Real Clear Polling.
