For years ago huh? What an oddly specific time, most people would say 5 years since it’s half of 10. On a completely unrelated note with no implications whatsoever, isn’t this an election year?

Yes, a poll, usually dozens, happen at the end of every presidential term. It helps to understand how people have dealt with the administration and world events. There were several at the end of Trump’s turn, that had much the same overall conclusion, that helped get Biden elected in hopes he’d result in a better outcome.
For most Americans, that hasnt happened.
As always, Dems are just solely hoping enough people hate Republicans that they win. So that in another four years this poll can be done again showing Dems aren’t good for anyone, they’re just not the worst, like choosing to smoke a pipe instead of cigarettes.

Dunno what you mean. I’m doing way better than 4 years ago because of the general stability and boringness.

Perhaps they’re comparing things to pre-COVID?

4 years ago was October 20th 2020. We were in covid by then.

Well the horrible spectre of Trump’s possible return to power has chopped off at least an extra four years off my lifespan over the last 4 years. You age 8 years in 4 and tell us how you feel.

Yep.
Too bad Kamala spent the first two months of her campaign repeating memes instead of advertising plans to benefit the working poor.
People can’t eat joy.

Democrats care about the poor about as much as Republicans care about babies once they’re born. It’s mostly lip service and a few scraps so the majority of people don’t realize we’re getting fleeced regardless of who’s in charge.

That analogy is terrifyingly accurate

Majority of Americans don’t remember struggling to find toilet paper.

Not being able to buy toilet paper because the store is out of it is different from not being able to buy it because it’s too expensive

Toilet paper is the least of most Americans worries. It’s literally an extreme luxury item.

You’re either a troll or not American. Or both.
