A recent poll says that Americans feel they are suffering economically due to the highest inflation in the last 40 years. Many see their lives as poorer than before, which was just as bad as all the economic policies of the Biden White House have driven it to this point.
Most Americans Suffer in the US
A Gallup poll on Monday said that US citizens are suffering, which rose to 5.6% based on the poll results, reported RT.
It has been steadily rising from last summer and is currently higher than it was during the 2008 recession or the 2020 coronavirus disease outbreak.
This Gallup survey ranks the quality-of-life index rates based on survey participants' current well-being and expectations for the future by using the terms thriving, struggling, and suffering. Scores that show suffering is four over ten, if it is about seven or more is thriving.
In November of last year, 59% of Americans disclosed doing well, yet as of July of this year, just 51% revealed doing so.
The decline is not as drastic as the 46.4% witnessed during the 2008 stock market crash or the 46% observed in the first wave of lockdowns and mass unemployment in the spring of 2020, noted TN Radio.
Notwithstanding, Gallup's new poll shows a suffering rate of 5.6% is the largest since it began monitoring in 2008. It appears to follow the April record of 4.8 % points and has risen since the highest inflation was 2.8% in July of the previous year.
In December 2008, not long after the Dow Jones experienced its biggest single-day loss in history, the pre-2022 high of 4.7% was gained.
Not Good for the US Economy
Poll after poll reveals that US citizens are skeptical about the state of the US economy and emphasize these financial concerns over all other negative issues. That might explain the association with elevated suffering.At 8.5% right now, the US inflation rate is slightly lower than the 9.1% it was in June.
The Biden administration has spent lavishly; as of February, more than $54 billion had been set aside for Ukraine's military and economic aid. Earlier this month, the administration was forced to pass a pricey tax, healthcare, and climate change reform. It is a reaction to paying more for groceries, gas, and consumer goods.
The Congressional Budget Office has noted that the bill, which the Democrats refer to as the "Inflation Reduction Act," will burden middle-class Americans with an extra $20 billion in taxes over the next decade while having a relatively insignificant impact on inflation. It is intended to be a cover for a failed Build Back Better.
President Biden has repetitively mentioned the phrase "Putin's price hike" in his speeches to keep blaming rising prices on Russian President Vladimir Putin and the special military operation in Ukraine.
Even so, just 11% of Americans believe Putin is to be held responsible for high gasoline prices. Biden's approval numbers have slumped farther and farther, hitting a new low of 38% in a Gallup poll in July, citing Republic World.
A new poll conducted by Gallup shows the highest inflation in forty years is driving many Americans to pessimism and feel poorer than ever, driven by Joe Biden's economic policies.
