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.

    Not really. the second half of the 20th century was great to live in for the entire western world, and the beggining of the 21st, even with 2008, was not as hard economically as the past few years. Trump’s policies have made a hard time following the pandemic into a worst time, as he destroys the little social helps the US has, and puts in place horrible policies that end up funneling money into his and big US companies’ pockets.

    Makes perfect sense that this is the hardest time to live in the US for most people alive.
