Poll: 56% Americans Say They Are Better Off Now Under Trump Than Four Years Ago Under Obama-Biden
![]() During his presidential campaign in 1980, Ronald Reagan asked Americans, "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" Since then, this question has served as a key standard that sitting presidents running for reelection have been held to. Gallup's most recent survey found a clear majority of registered voters (56%) saying they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 32% said they are worse off.
The number is, as Fox News’s Laura Ingraham noted on Thursday night, “the highest Gallup has ever recorded.” All this means, also, that the vast majority of Americans think their lives are better off — literally during, again, a pandemic that has upended American life — than it was when Obama was president and Trump’s opponent this year former Vice President Joe Biden was Obama’s second-in-command. Even with the disruption from the pandemic, in other words, it is hard to see those people who like life more now under Trump than they did when Biden was in charge voting for a change. And it would amount to a serious historical aberration for Trump to lose, given the trends in Gallup polling on this question since Reagan asked it of the public in 1984. https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gall...-coverage.aspx https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...our-years-ago/ https://news.gallup.com/opinion/gall...-coverage.aspx |
