00:00...is a big issue for Americans, and also everyday concerns like food and grocery prices.
00:05Well, what we see in the data is that Americans are having trouble trusting, right?
00:09More see it as off on the wrong track than heading in the right direction.
00:13And what the Reuters Episodes poll found is that a majority of Americans don't agree with the idea that the
00:17economy is booming right now.
00:22You've seen nothing yet. We're going to do better and better and better.
00:26This is the golden age of America.
00:34We know price is inflation, top of mind for Americans.
00:37But what really concerns them within that big bucket?
00:40Housing and rent, health care, food and groceries.
00:43These are the issues we hear a lot about in our Reuters Episodes poll that Americans are concerned about.
01:02It's probably, you know, when you've got like a scratchy throat, you stick your finger in your ear far enough
01:06you can scratch it.
01:07Yeah, that kind of thing.
01:08Because it is.
01:11What else?
01:27Well, some of the administration proposals aren't terribly familiar to Americans.
01:31Half or more haven't necessarily heard of things like ideas of capping credit card interest or direct payments to Americans
01:38in lieu of health care subsidies.
01:39To the extent they have heard of them, some seem to offer promise in the eyes of Americans like capping
01:44credit card interest rates.
01:45Others are not really convinced they'll do a great deal to address the cost of living and price concerns.
02:08What we see in the latest Reuters Episodes poll is that a majority of Americans think tariffs would do more
02:13to increase the cost of living than to lower it.
02:15It's an area of concern for Americans and they don't think tariffs would help what they're seeing day to day.
02:57Well, Trump owns the economy in the minds of Americans today, whether there's improvements ahead or steps back, clear shares
03:04of Americans say Trump, rather than his predecessor Biden, would be responsible for the economic fortunes of the country.
03:10Today, our border is secure, our spirit is restored, inflation is plummeting, incomes are rising fast, the roaring economy is
03:23roaring like never before, and our enemies are scared, our military and police are stacked, and America is respected again,
03:31perhaps like never before.
03:38A few things we know as we look ahead to November, Americans very concerned about the economy, specifically cost of
03:44living.
03:44They're not particularly happy with the current state of things or policies in place to address it, and it's going
03:49to be a big factor in shaping Americans vote for Congress this fall.
03:52They're responsible for the economic fortunes of the country.
03:56And how big an issue is the economy going to be?
