A recent poll by Monmouth University found that 46% of Americans are financially struggling due to the spike in inflation, the highest recorded since President Biden took office. Prices have risen about 20% since then, but the inflation rate has slowed. However, prices are still significantly higher than four years ago and this could impact the upcoming election. A survey also found that an equal percentage of Americans believe that Biden or Trump cares about their economic struggles, but many still feel behind.
