Why does belief matter in this case? Can't the news people report on direct inflationary outcomes? Trump started a war which resulted in one of the most critical shipping lanes getting shut down--it's no matter of belief that would impact how much things cost.

Ah yes, the reliable 40%
That same 40% that would keep supporting Trump even if he kicked down their own doors and murdered and then raped their children right in front of them. That same 40% that shows up in EVERY poll...
I mean, there has been positive inflation in the US for decades, prices generally only go up, the issue is that they've been going up faster and faster.

Ya THINK??
Never actually said whether things are more expensive now...only that most people think they are.
Good job, folks! Another stellar piece of journalism. This is why Americans are perpetually uninformed.

Yeah cause thats what my bank statements say too.
New study reveals 23-35 percent of Americans would be terrible contestants on The Price Is Right.

Anyone else tripped up by the grammatical awkwardness of "house"?
So I s there like an enclave(s) were inflation doesn't hit Americans or is this (most probably) just people hanging onto maga train
Is this an actual poll or an 'ask Claude' poll not that it wasn't definitely cheaper its just it was still inexcusably high and fucking unlivable and 40%is a weirdly low number
I mean it was. And it was lower under Trump before that. And it was lower under Bush before that.
2008 was a rupture that got patched over but never came close to healing in the US.
As if everything doesn't get more expensive over time in any country and under any government.
This is just silly
Was it though? I'm not giving trump a pass here, but I feel like he's the one who made everything terrible in 2020. The inflation started in 2018, but really spiked in 2020. Then it more or less stayed the same until very very recently. Gas has skyrocketed. I feel like inflation is about to go insane again in the near future, but I think my grocery bills are roughly the same now as opposed to 2021.
