Most Feel Groceries are Harder to Afford

(Undated) — A new survey says nearly half of Americans feel groceries are becoming harder to afford compared to a year ago. According to a new Harris/Axios Vibes poll, forty-seven percent of respondents said that groceries are harder to afford compared to thirty-four percent who said it is about the same, and nineteen percent who said groceries are easier to afford now. When looking along party lines, the majority of both Democrats and independents said groceries are harder to afford, while only thirty-four percent of Republicans said the same. Findings also show that about eight-in-ten Americans believe President Trump has “significant influence” over the economy.
