A new Financial Times-Michigan Ross School of Business nationwide poll finds 45% of voters — including 40% of independents — said they would be “much” or “somewhat” better off under Donald Trump, while only 35% said they would be “much” or “somewhat” worse off.
Just 18% of respondents said they felt financially better off since Biden became president, compared with 49% who said they felt worse off.
