A large majority of Americans think the country is headed in the wrong direction, and much of their blame for the nation’s woes rests on President Joe Biden and the worsening economic crisis.

A new poll from NBC News found that 75 percent of U.S. adults think the nation is on the wrong track. That’s the highest number of unsatisfied Americans since the nation’s last notable recession in 2008. It’s also up nearly 20 percentage points since this time last year and up two percentage points from January 2021 when Biden was inaugurated.

Most of these Americans’ concerns can be traced to federal spending and lockdown-induced economic problems such as inflation, which is taking a far greater toll on Americans than what’s reflected in the 8 percent figure, and record-high gas prices, which recently reached a $4.48 per gallon national average.

Since Biden assumed office, the financial toll these crises have taken on pocketbooks has only worsened and made it difficult for hardworking Americans to keep up.

In the NBC poll, 65 percent of U.S. adults claimed their current paychecks are falling behind their rapidly rising costs of living. Only 6 percent said their family’s income is “going up faster than the cost of living.”

It is not POTUS Plugs, it is the people who stole the election and put him in place as a patsy.

What does “p” mean? I see that every so often and I always wondered.

I think it is meant to invoke a crazy-face mouth with a tongue sticking out and wagging. Like part of :P

Perhaps my manner of interpretation was influenced by the tenor of the stories being posted here tonight.

What am I talking about? I should have said “...being posted here over the last five years.”

down to 25%.

the plan to make Carter not look so bad is going well.

If 75% of the country were against Trump and thought he was ruining their lives, they would be parked outside the White House en masse. But Brandon gets treated with kid gloves.
