Gallup: Majority Feel Worse Off than Four Years Ago Under Trump

A majority of Americans (52 percent) feel worse off today than four years ago under former President Donald Trump, Gallup polling found Friday.

Four years ago the nation was in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, which greatly impacted the economy and the lives of millions of Americans. Despite the crises, Americans believe they were better off.

Costs increased by about 20 percent across the board after the Biden-Harris administration assumed office and instituted “Bidenomics.”

Russia invaded Ukraine, Hamas and Iran attacked Israel, illegal migrants invaded the southern border, and the nation suffered the deadly Afghan withdrawal.

Gallup reported its findings, predominantly shaped by soaring costs:

Americans’ perceptions of whether they are better off have been related, historically, to how they feel about the U.S. economy, as reflected in Gallup’s monthly Economic Confidence Index (ECI).

…

Gallup’s latest measurement of Americans’ economic views, from an Oct. 1-12 poll, puts the ECI at -26 — one of the worst election-year readings, along with the 39% “better off” reading from September.

Forty-six percent of Americans described economic conditions under the Biden-Harris administration as “poor,” while 29 percent said it was “only fair,” Gallup found. A whopping 62 percent said the economy is “getting worse.”

And 48% have deluded themselves or are outright lying.

Absolutely guaranteed 52% is way low.
Unfortunately there are still too many that aren’t personally feeling the pinch enough to stop them from saying that they are okay if the world burns, as long as it’s not Trump.

I get Gallup questions all the time, I say the same thing every time. Direction of the country is wrong, I disapprove of Biden, Harris, Democrats and Republican are running the country. My favorite questions is what is the greatest threat to America, I say the Democratic party and illegal immigration.

I don’t “feel” worse off. I am worse off. Retirees are screwed. I guess Kamala Harris doesn’t support defending retirees.
