Summary

An AP-NORC poll reveals skepticism about Donald Trump’s ability to lower costs like groceries, housing, or healthcare in his first year, with only 2 in 10 Americans expressing strong confidence. Confidence is slightly higher for job creation (3 in 10).

Even among Republicans, less than half are very confident in his ability to address healthcare or food costs.

Health care remains a weak spot, with only 16% of Americans confident he can lower costs.

      Lol, I don’t see how this won’t be significantly worse than that.

      That’s the plan anyway.

        Ya know your comment reminded me that the great depression is what led to the New Deal which brought the most significant worker reforms and regulations in US history.
