It's funny. In most polls, if you ask people if they are better off than they were 1, 2, 5, 10 years ago, the overwhelming answer is yes. As soon as you tie it to politics, the answers change. The majority of Americans are better off now, than they were in 2020. And the majority of us were better in 2020 than in 2016. But when you tie it to Presidential election, and people pick up on context clues, the answers change. "Four years ago" shifts the narrative.
