In a recent survey by the Financial Times and Michigan Ross, over half of voters, or 51 percent, think their wallets are feeling the squeeze under President Joe Biden’s economic plans. That’s like saying, “Hey, Joe, why are you making my piggy bank cry?”
The Republican National Committee dropped a financial truth bomb, estimating that the average Wisconsin family waved goodbye to a whopping $21,981 thanks to the higher cost of just living under Biden’s rule. That’s a whole lot of extra pennies pinched from hardworking folks just trying to make ends meet.
As Bill Clinton's James Carville once said, "It's the economy, stupid!"
"However, the Michigan-Ross poll finds more than half of respondents — 51 per cent — believe they are worse off since Biden became president."https://t.co/IUsmOW8PK2 pic.twitter.com/DlpnoQFdtU

Now, let’s talk burgers. In Biden’s America, a McDonald’s Big Mac combo could set you back 18 big ones in some spots. That’s up a hefty $10 from the good ol’ days of 2018 when Donald Trump held court. It’s almost like saying, “Pass the ketchup, and oh, can I borrow your wallet?”
The survey didn’t paint a pretty picture of Biden’s shot at a reelection party. Only a measly 28 percent of voters felt like Biden was doing their bank accounts any favors, while a whopping 71 percent were not happy with how things were stacking up financially. Oh, and 80 percent were feeling the heat from prices soaring sky-high.
When it comes to who folks trust to steer the economic ship, the survey said more people preferred Trump over Biden. Like, 43 percent to 35 percent preferred some Donald J. Trump magic compared to Joe Biden’s number-crunching skills. Even among blue-collar voters, typically on Team Blue, it was a tied game – 40 percent each for Trump and Biden.
The survey kinda said Bidenomics, you know, the plan to create green jobs and fix up America’s roads, ain’t exactly winning any gold stars. Guess folks aren’t too thrilled about how the financial cookie is crumbling under the current administration.
The poll didn’t stop there. It also showed that folks are losing sleep over inflation, income worries are creeping up, and housing costs are sending shivers down spines. With a 3.1-point margin of error, this survey sure painted a picture of political and financial worries for the average Joe on the street. Oh, Joe, when will the economic clouds part and bring forth some sunny days for the American wallet?
