New poll results show 53 percent of those surveyed couldn’t recall struggling harder to make ends meet

A majority of Americans now say the cost of living is the worst they can remember — and most of them blame President Donald Trump for their predicament.

Poll results published Friday by Politico showed 53 percent of those surveyed couldn’t recall struggling harder to make ends meet, up from 46 percent in November.

The poll by Public First also found 46 percent felt Trump was fully or mostly responsible for the state of the economy, unchanged from six months ago.

    Yeah,

    No shit

    It should be 100% saying that, but a sizeable portion of this country listens to Faux when Bullshit Mountain tells them that they were “suffering” under Biden (And Obama.) and that this clusterfuck of tariffs and $5+ gas and an AI bubble is “the golden age”.

      The smartest thing trump ever did was pandemic stimulus checks.

      What’s left of MAGA fully believes trump is a safety net. They believe he will catch them before things fall apart for them.

      While simultaneously believing in rugged individualism, and being anti socialist.

      It is a silly time.
