Nearly half of Americans anxious about finances amid frustrations with Trump’s handle on economy: Poll

Nearly half is probably the conservative estimate; anyone buying groceries or filling up their tank knows the number feels closer to everyone outside of the donor class. You cannot run a trade war, close the Strait, and print tariff chaos without people feeling it in their wallets, and the sad part is a real fiscal conservative would have never let it get here. The late and great OJ Simpson managed his estate better than this administration manages a supply chain.

Forty-six percent is just the half that admitted it.

The polling lag is real here, these surveys capture sentiment from weeks ago, and most households have gotten worse news on groceries and utilities since then. By the time this publishes, the actual anxiety number is probably higher.

Me MAGA Me Big Brain! CBS News poll! Me have big IQ me know CBS is fake news! They always find "nearly half" when Trump do good things! Me fill up gas tank and it fine! Me buy groceries and it fine! Nearly half anxious? Me anxious too when Obama was president! Where was poll then? Me no see poll then! You trust CBS you trust enemy of people! Trump fix economy me know it me smart!

Forty-seven percent anxious, fifty-three percent either lying or not checking their bank account; either way, the tariff receipts are right there on the gas pump.
