52% Say They Are Worse Off Under Biden-Harris Than Trump

The question is, how many of them will vote their wallets, rather than their Trump Derangement Syndrome?

Poll finds majority of Americans say they’re worse off than four years ago, similar to 1992 election

With Election Day inching closer, a recent survey suggested that a majority of Americans believe they are worse off than they were four years ago.

The Gallup poll, released Friday, found that 52 percent of Americans said they and their family are worse off today than they were four years ago. The Gallup poll was conducted Sept. 16-28 among 1,023 Americans and has a margin of error of 4 percentage points.

Another 39 percent said they were better off, while 9 percent said they felt the same now as they did back then.

Gallup noted that these results are most similar to their 1992 survey – when then-Gov. Bill Clinton defeated incumbent Republican President George H.W. Bush.

Who are these 39% who say they are better off? Are they the government employees who can just demand raises? Rich folks loving the BidenHarrisflation?

About 72% of Democrats say they were better off in 2024 than 2020, according to the survey. The numbers were much lower for independents, 35%, and Republicans, just 7%.

Under what measurement do those Dems feel better? Simply because Trump isn’t president? Because there are plenty who have complained about how expensive things are, how they cannot afford a house or apartment? The big one is the Independents: can they overcome loathing Trump (not that Kamala is particularly likable) and vote for policies that are better for their lives?

And then there is this

Gallup’s monthly Economic Confidence Index (ECI), which ranges from -100 to +100, was currently at -26, with 39 percent saying they were better off financially four years ago.

The organization has been tracking ECI’s since 1992. Since the start, the highest ECI score was +56 in January 2000, and the lowest was -72 in October 2008.

Gallup noted that former President Trump’s 2020 loss to now-President Biden was a “sign that noneconomic factors were paramount to voters that year.”

Which way will it show up at the ballot box? Say what you will, Biden was somewhat likeable, especially since he was kept in the basement as much as possible. Kamala is a whole different ballgame. I don’t know about you, though, I’ve talked to people in real life, and they’re all TDS, despite whining about things like the economy. They blame Trump for Afghanistan, Ukraine, and Israel, going through pretzels in their TDS logic.
