A recent Gallup poll indicates that 55% of respondents feel their financial situation is deteriorating, marking a rise from previous years. This trend has persisted for five consecutive years. The cost of living is the most significant financial issue for 31% of Americans, while energy costs have surged, with 13% citing them as a concern. Although inflation has decreased since its peak in 2022, rising gas prices, averaging $4.11 per gallon, continue to strain finances, with many attributing the increase to Trump.
