"Are you better off now than you were four years ago?" was famously used by Ronald Reagan in the 1980 presidential debate and remains relevant in elections today.
Recent polls indicate that many Americans do not feel better under President Joe Biden's administration. According to a February AP-NORC poll, only 24% of Americans feel better off since Biden took office, while 41% feel worse off and 34% feel the same. These figures highlight the mixed sentiments about economic progress during Biden's presidency.
Economic challenges such as inflation, high mortgage rates, and increased living costs are central to these perceptions. The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage has risen to 7.06%, significantly increasing monthly payments for homeowners. The price of an average home has soared to over $400,000, making homeownership less accessible.
Similarly, the cost of new vehicles has jumped to $48,008 from $38,000 four years ago, with corresponding increases in monthly car payments. Grocery prices have also surged, with the average American family now spending $270.21 per week, up from $160.35 four years ago.

a &*&* show filled with stupid voters.
58% is a lot of dumb to overcome.
My guess is they are govt/healthcare folks who made up large chunks of the labor market. Those sectors continue to grow.
Back then in 1980, we didn't have to look over our shoulder wondering if someone was an illegal alien about to attack us or rip us off. Now in 2024 the stupid voters are most likely illegal aliens being allowed to vote by Biden's people to allow all Democrats to attack us and rip us off.
It’s not the economy stupid!
Swampsters and dot gov employees are the only ones better off...oh, and scammers!
The Democrats have made voting fraud an art over the past 40 years.
