Women Are Feeling Poorer Than a Year Ago. They Say Trump is to Blame
According to a poll conducted by the National Women’s Law Center (NWLC), a nonprofit fighting for gender justice, an overwhelming majority of adults in the U.S. say that the country is “off track” when it comes to inflation and the cost of living.
Overall, 42% of respondents say they consider themselves to be worse off today than a year ago when it comes to their ability to afford everyday needs. Only 27% say that they are better off. Some 38% say that they’re less able to save money and 37% say that it’s harder today than a year ago to afford healthcare.
The NWLC’s poll was conducted in mid-January and draws on responses from more than 1,500 adults across the country.
