Voters aren’t watching charts and graphs. They’re watching their bills. If families still feel squeezed, no amount of economic spin will matter in 2026.

If voters don’t feel relief, the economy isn’t fixed​

The concerns of many Americans about their economic well-being may be at the highest level since the Great Depression. Politico recently reported that 46% of Americans say their cost of living is the worst that they can remember, including over one-third of Trump voters. Nothing better exemplifies this than the many “30-somethings” who are unable to purchase a home.

Financial anxieties center around affordability, which is the proxy for evaluating whether the economy is meeting the public’s needs. Affordability is the degree to which households can responsibly pay for essential goods and services.

Gregg Ip, an economic commentator for the Wall Street Journal, says that affordability cannot be measured solely by economic data, but must also account for perceptions of financial security.

President Trump opined that concerns about affordability are a “hoax” created by Democrats for political purposes. Most Americans would disagree. While the runaway inflation of the Biden presidency has moderated, widespread concerns about affordability persist. According to a recent Politico poll, nearly half of the nation found the cost of their groceries, health care, utilities, and housing to be unaffordable. About half of the respondents said food costs are difficult to manage, and more than a quarter skipped medical appointments because of the cost.

In the 2026 midterm elections, it will be incumbent upon Republicans and Democrats to make an affordability agenda “job one.” These agendas should be the yardstick voters use to cast their vote for members of Congress and state officials.

I disagree. All the Left has to do is continue to destroy the US from within with spending like a drunken sailor, while "fixing" everything by trying to give away even more things as "free".

But as we all know, or at least should, nothing is ever free. The price for continuing to offer "free" things is a cost voters never reckon on paying.

And for Trump to say that the hurting economy is a hoax is not helping him. No, it is the exact opposite.

And yes, under Biden unaffordability hit new record heights as the DNC contributed to much of it, but Trump is President now and must fix it overnight or meet a horrible fate in the midterms.

For the Left, they could not be happier as they will see both Trump and a free market collapse altogether.

That was always the goal.

Trump: This is the best economy we’ve ever had. (10/9/25)
He's a ******* liar and the ignorant rubes don't care.

Q3-2025 - revised up to +4.4% growth

MAGA is nothing if not delusional and rigidly attached to their dogma.

MAGA is your superior in morality, intelligence and physical nature.

I think the voter's (well the 70 million who voted Trump into office), are in a wait and see mode, otherwise they are not going to be derailed by the left who are now revealed as the true deplorables that Hillary attempted to paint as being conservatives when she ran for office instead of the leftist being the real culprits in the situation.

Of course the left will attempt to brand the Republicans as the one's who could care less about fixing the economy and Healthcare for all, when in fact it was the left who catered to special group's that were either formed or created through vote buying schemes and worse.

The war between the leftist and conservatives must be strategically won by the Republicans just like it was with the United State's verses Germany during the great war's.

Letting the left gain back control is the worst possible scenario for this country here or abroad.

Fixing a country after the left set it on fire is a very risky thing, otherwise if leave the arsonist in power where they steady reignite the flames after the fires have been put out.

It's not a great economy but far better than what it was under Potato Head

Remember the high gas prices, and his idiotic solution of using our strategic reserves to try and ease prices for maybe a few week's at best ? The leftist regime was the most fake and incompetent people ever to hold power at the levels that they held it, otherwise to their own suprise when they surprisingly did.

The voter's thank God finally had took enough of their BS, and voted them out. Now they are hanging around the edges trying everything they can to undermine the Trump administration with every move it makes. If Trump signs a good exec, then they immediately go into undermining mode in hopes to convince their sheep that it will have a devastating effect on them. Well watching the Dems glorify illegals over US citizen's said it all, because they refused to stand up for Americans that were brutally killed by illegals.

Trump has a way of showing the country just how crazy and unhinged the leftist Democrats have become.

If this country falls for the Democrat BS again, then it gets what it deserves.

I'm in a wait and see mode. That said Harris wasn't the answer, she has the economic capability of a snail.
