A majority of Americans, 56% to be exact, feel like they are better off today than they were four years ago.

Ronald Reagan famously asked the question while campaigning in 1980.

According to The Daily Wire:

The question has since become a key barometer that presidential candidates ask Americans to consider as they mull whom to vote for in the quadrennial battle for the White House.

And for decades, the Gallup polling organization has been asking people that very question. Just three weeks before the election — and with one pollster saying Biden has an 86% chance of winning on Nov. 3 — Gallup’s latest finding were quite surprising.

In a survey taken Sept. 14-28, the polling organization asked more than 1,000 Americans “to compare your situation today with what it was four years ago. Are you better off than you were four years ago or not?”

A whopping 56% said they are better off. Just under a third (32%) said they were not.

When Obama was re-elected in 2012 45% said they were better off, George W. Bush won re-election when 47% said they were better off, and Reagan won a landslide when only 44% said they were better off.

George H.W. Bush lost in 1992 when 38% said they were better off.
