Most Americans say they are better off now than three years ago

Well over half of Americans say they are better off now than before President Trump took office three years ago, an unusually high statistic compared to similar election year polls.

Gallup conducted phone interviews with 1,033 adults living in the United States from Jan. 16-29 and published the findings on Wednesday. Of those surveyed, 61% said they are better off overall now than they were three years ago. That number did surpass 50% during the four previous presidential elections in which an incumbent president was competing.
