As we approach the November elections, we’re eager to gather insights from Americans about their perspectives on the current state of the US economy. Recent reports indicate that the rising cost of living has emerged as a primary concern among voters. After experiencing significant price hikes in recent years, some economists argue that inflation may finally be under control and that the economy could be heading toward a “soft landing,” characterized by slowing price growth and a stable job market. Nevertheless, many Americans still voice concerns and uncertainty about their economic futures.
