Economic pessimism has persisted throughout Trump's second term. A higher percentage of voters today say inflation and the economy in general are getting worse. Voters also feel worse about other employment-related issues, including job security, job availability, and wages.

Some goods, like utilities, housing, and healthcare, are inelastic — voters report paying more, but show little flexibility in buying less or opting for cheaper versions. However, more voters report cutting back their spending on household goods, gas, and groceries.
