Republicans, rural residents, renters, women and singles disproportionately feel like they’re in a big fat funk financially, our debut Axios Vibes survey by The Harris Poll reveals.
In comparison, just 32% of respondents in relationships… say their situation is poor.
Having two incomes and one rent payment definitely helps
Yeah and not constantly being isolated probably boosts morale, what with a beloved friend (I hope) being that other income.
Harris’ research also suggests that many Americans are “consuming in denial” — continuing to spend and run up credit card bills even though they’re short on cash — and that “they’re looking to deflect some of the blame” to leaders in government, said John Gerzema, CEO of The Harris Poll.
“There’s a sense of entitlement, that Americans feel like, ‘We’re worth it, so I might change my vote but I’m not going to change my lifestyle,’” Gerzema said.
Yeah, those lazy selfish bastards with credit card debt are so entitled, how dare they blame their totally made up feelings about the economy on government and business leaders
That vibe reflects the numbers we crunched on the overall economy: Life, particularly groceries and rent, is indeed a lot more expensive than it was a few years ago.
Oh
So the unhappy people are… Almost everyone. Got it.
Yeah, that tracks.
TBF the overlap between Republicans, rural residents, and singles is pretty significant.
I guess that’s why Farmer’s Only exists
