According to an Axios survey by The Harris Poll, most Americans believe it is harder to afford groceries compared to a year ago. The findings, released Thursday, show that 47% of the general public feel pain in their wallets, while 34% said that prices are about the same. Meanwhile, 19% of respondents think groceries are now easier to afford.
Among independents, 54% say groceries are more costly, compared to 50% of Democrats and 34% of Republicans. Republicans remained more split in their responses — with 28% arguing that they are easier to afford, while 37% say they are similar to last year.
The survey also found that 8 in 10 Americans believe the president has “significant influence” over the U.S. economy, and only 47% believe the current administration has had a positive impact on it, signaling a pressure point for Trump and the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms. Less than 1 in 3 respondents maintain that tariffs have been beneficial for the economy, business or personal finances, while most Americans — standing at 63% — worry of shortages of key goods due to Trump’s signature policy.

Bold faced, obvious lie.
I love that this easily quantifiable metric is so split along partisan lines.
Literally everything is. It’s insanity. Politically conscious People’s opinions in this country now have their entire reality dictated to them by their party of choice.

They seem to have gotten away with it so far. They have no reason to stop making up alternate realities until their constituents stop believing them
He’s never stepped foot in a grocery store in his life. Facist old pig.
So they polled people on subjective opinions instead of looking at the data? Wtf kind of reporting is this?
Before Trump and COVID, soda was maybe $5.99 for a 12-pack. It’s $9.99 now. That’s a simple gauge
Thanks Obama!
Fuckin FDR…

He’s a moron who has likely never set foot in a grocery store in his life. He didn’t even think people actually use that word.
But it’s irrelevant. The president has very little control for making prices go down. Too many market forces to contend with. He has quite a bit of control on making them go up with his stupid ideas of tariffs however.
When was the last time the Orange Fucknut went grocery shopping? He’s a clueless racist bastard.
Why would anyone ever believe the man who has never been grocery shopping in his life? Does anyone really think that Donny 2 Inches actually knows the price of a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread?
We’ve always been at was with Eastasia.
If you buy it, you are obviously an idiot.
According to some dipshit on reddit the other day they absolutely buy it, but claim if it’s not true it’s only not true in bLuE CiTiEs
Quick check of the community forums and you’ve got at least 50% of people either denying prices are too damn high or they’re justifying it with “Buh my Trump!”.
