Majority of Americans say they are better off under Trump than four years ago: poll
Fifty-six percent of registered voters say they’re better off now, while 32 percent said they’re worse off, Gallup found in a survey out this week.
The number is a vast improvement compared to 2012 under the Obama administration, when 45 percent of voters said they were better off than in 2008.
Trump cheered the findings in a tweet on Thursday.
“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!” he wrote.
The poll was conducted between Sept. 14-28 before the first presidential debate and Trump’s coronavirus diagnosis.
