most Americans say finances haven't improve under Trump

[NoName999]

More than 60 percent of Americans say their personal financial situation hasn't improved since Donald Trump was elected president in 2016, according to a survey released on Wednesday by personal finance site Bankrate.

Respondents were asked the question: "Compared with two years ago, is your personal financial situation better, worse or about the same?" Forty-five percent of the 1,001 people polled during the last week of September answered "about the same," 17 percent said they were worse off, and 38 percent said their financial situation had improved.

The poll results are baffling at first sight, given the strong GDP numbers (the third-quarter GDP growth was 3.5 percent), record low unemployment levels and a frighteningly long bull market (until just recently). And yet, they are, in part, a reflection of the persistently lagging growth in real income compared with the economic boom.

You mean the tax cuts that only go towards the 1% doesn't help??? I'm shocked!
