A solid majority of 56 percent of Americans say they are better off now than they were four years ago, a new Gallup survey reveals.
Only 32 percent say they are worse off than four years ago. The number is, as Fox Newss Laura Ingraham noted on Thursday night, the highest Gallup has ever recorded.
President Trump responded to the survey in a tweet:
The Gallup Poll has just come out with the incredible finding that 56% of you say that you are better off today, during a pandemic, than you were four years ago (OBiden). Highest number on record! Pretty amazing!

Historically speaking, this bodes very well for President Donald Trump as he seeks reelection. Right around previous presidential elections when an incumbent has been seeking reelection dating back to the mid-1980s, never has this number been this high or even at a majority. For instance, when former President Barack Obama was seeking reelection in early 2012, the number was at 45 percent. It stayed at that level through the election that Obama won until December 2012. Likewise, when former President George W. Bush was seeking reelection in 2004 in October the number was at 47 percent. The junior Bush won. When former President George H.W. Bush was seeking reelection in 1992, the number dropped down to 38 percent and the senior Bush lost. But in 1984, when former President Ronald Reagan was seeking reelection he won 49 states in a landslide defeat of his Democrat opponent the number was down at just 44 percent.

That number does not square in any possible way with polls indicating the country wants a change to Biden.
No way, no how.
I guess that explains why Nancy is moving on to 25 A.
Ive done so much better in the last 4 years than I did in the previous 8, people who dont know me wouldnt believe it if I told them.
Heck yeah!!!
0bama held EVERYTHING down. I mean everything.
Consumer prices were the only things that rose sharply.
Back in 2012, I received a phone call asking if I wanted to resume my unemployment from 2007, when I was laid off for a few months. Apparently, I didnt finish my 39 weeks and they were trying to talk me into taking the rest-plus the added weeks that 0 put into place.. I had to argue with them to get them off my back...
Ive again been unemployed since March, but I, like most Americans, understand that it wasnt Trump who is keeping everything closed down. I really wish he hadnt gone along with it in the first place, but its all on our lovely idiot Governor here in MI.
Bottom line for me is: even with my current unemployment, we are STILL in a better place than we were for the 8 years prior to 2016. Those were just dire strait years. (...and I dont mean Money for Nothing/Chicks for free..)
The other half of that are leaches who are being forced to go out and work for a living...
My trade is automated manufacturing...metallic machined parts...aerospace mostly. I’ve seen it as busy but not busier in 30 years. I like it. Thanks Mr. Trump!
Yeah??? Well then go VOTE FOR HIM not FREE STUFF!!!
I am not sure that they did.
The virus (supposedly) was been discovered in human waste samples collected in Spain from March of 2019, months before is showed up in the US.
If it was in Spain in Match 2019 did it originate in China and get to Spain first or did in come from somewhere else?
Another bit of fall out from this revelation is; if COVID is so deadly why werent people dying like flies in Spain all summer of 2019?
