“Many fewer Americans now than a year ago rate their financial situation positively and more say their finances are getting worse than say they are improving. A record-high percentage mention inflation as the biggest financial problem facing their family.”
USAGOLD note: Not the kind of results likely to boost the White House’s confidence in the upcoming elections …… At the same time, one would think that it would be even worse for the party in power if unemployment were rising rapidly instead of the inflation rate. A full 46%, according to the Gallup poll, rate their financial situation as excellent or good, down from 57% last year.
