Majority of Americans say better off now than in 2016 despite COVID, riots
[JPost] - A majority of voters in the United States have told Gallup that they're better off now, despite the coronavirus pandemic and riots which have shaken many cities, than they were four years ago. The metric is widely considered a key factor in the outcome of elections.In 1980, Ronald Reagan asked voters: "Are you better off today than you were four years ago?" The question has since become a standard that presidents running for re-election have held to. This year, in a poll taken between September 14 and 28, some 56% of respondents believed they and their family to be better off now than they were four years ago, against 32% who said they were worse off.
