23 percent of Republicans ~~say~~ admit they’re worse off since second Trump term began.
FTFY
77 percent of Republicans are either billionaire pedophiles or liars.

Practically a running joke that partisan views shape economic perceptions.
As soon as the GOP eats shit in the mid-terms, you're going to see a massive chunk of those 77% of Republicans wake up and realize the economy is bad. Meanwhile, a healthy chunk of the Dems will decide actually things are looking good again.
But the longterm trend has consistently been negative. If either the Dems or GOPers can figure out how to implement some decent economic reforms, there's a massive popular windfall waiting for them on the other side.
You can't survey them by asking with the word trump in there, they'll deny or hallucinate. You just have to mention dates and distract from the political part
This doesn't matter much if they don't change their voting patterns.
76% of Republicans are lying, then. And the 1% of course are having their balls being gently cradled by the conservatives in power....
Oh noo! Anyway...
