For individual taxpayers, 54% say their personal financial situation is “getting worse,” compared to only 23% who say it is improving. However, those numbers are an improvement from June, when 64% said their finances were getting worse and only 16% said they saw signs of improvement, according to the poll.
Inflation has emerged as a top priority among voters, with 38% of voters ranking it as their No. 1 concern and another 17% placing it second highest, the poll showed., with August prices rising 8.3% compared to the year before, noted a report from the consumer price index released on Tuesday. The numbers were higher than expected but nevertheless a decline from July’s numbers, which showed an 8.5% increase.
The numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics on Tuesday revealed that while it ticked down, inflation remains high despite the Federal Reserve's aggressive interest rate hikes. July’s headline CPI reading clocked in at 8.5%.
