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 News’s 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.

People are not afraid to say whether they are doing better or worse than they were BUT if you ask them if they are supporting Trump they will shut down BECAUSE the media has called Trump supporters every damn name in the book!! You will NEVER get an accurate poll if the name Trump is involved!!
Then everything went south.
Don’t tell a pollster or the MSM.
if this is true , it can be huge +

This number is staggering when you consider how badly things have been disrupted during the COVID-19 outbreak.

We were going 100% until the Rat governors shut it down. Best economy in decades. Unfortunately, Rat voters still don’t get it.
So true. Quite remarkable, actually.
People I know blame China for the virus. They also properly hold Democrats responsible for it’s aftermath.
They are furious that our Governor continues to keep us under lockdown. This is a tourist town. Everyone is out of work!
I have no doubt that Trump will win this election. Whether “the ballots” let him win or not, make no mistake, the Union members will vote for Trump. Can’t vouch for the postal union though. SMH
We are doing better. Because the economy turned around, a better paying job opened up for me at the company where I work. The RV industry is having one of its best years ever and it shows.
bttt
We had a tough March /April .
That being said we are now doing better than we were prior to covid
My situation is very good. But I have woken up to something I would have never conceived that this is biological warfare. its an on purpose no freakin accident.
Why do you think the Chinese dumped it on us? President Trump made them lose Face in negotiations.
I can’t complain. (I could, but I choose not to.)
I definitely did better thanks to the dip in the market earlier this year, but only because I had some cash on hand to take advantage.
Very true, factoring in all the House monkeyshines and criminal conduct along with fake news complicity.... I agree with your statement.
I am still doing better than I thought I would be. And-with the Trump re-election, the economy will absolutely explode. I can’t wait!
It will drown out all the prearranged, stage-managed and Soros funded Liberal hysterics about ‘legitimacy’ of the election. Liberals are fully aware that they CANNOT win legitimately, and they cannot possibly commit enough voter fraud to balance the genuine and overwhelming groundswell of Trump votes.
The wholesale rejection of Biden and Harris will produce a breadth and depth Trump approval Liberals cannot withstand… NOT within the law … OR given the amount of scrutiny and oversight this election will have! It will be so definitive and unambiguous that Liberals will break the law to challenge the tsunami roaring at them…and they will not succeed.
Treason, crime and chaos are coming…bank on that.
This proof the fake polls are fake polls. Game Set Match Mister Trump and Republicans. Sorry Freeper Pearl Clutchers but this is Gallup - no friend of ours -saying this not me.
