After falling to an 11-year low during the Biden Administration, new polling shows “Americans’ faith in the economy and direction of the nation is back on track and shooting higher” amid President Donald J. Trump’s relentless America First agenda.
In fact, the share of Americans who say gas prices are a “major problem” is down by 15% over last year; the same is true for housing costs (down 11%) and grocery prices (down 8%). Meanwhile, small business owners are feeling renewed optimism driven by a sharp rise in approval “across the political spectrum” for President Trump’s economic policies.
Here’s why:
- Homeownership is more affordable: Mortgage rates have fallen to a three-year low — finally making the American Dream more accessible for Americans after millions of illegal immigrants drove housing costs up under Biden.
- Driving costs less: Americans are spending the smallest share of their disposable income on gasoline since 2005, while the annual cost to own and operate a new vehicle is down by nearly six percent over last year and gas prices are lower across the board.
- Americans are spending like never before: Retail sales are booming — up 5% over last year, far outpacing inflation — as Americans spend in record amounts.
- Americans are earning more: After inflation outpaced wages for 26 straight months under Biden, real wages have increased nearly every month since President Trump took office — driven by historic wage gains for blue-collar workers, which are rising at the fastest rate in six decades.
- Retirements are booming: The stock market is booming, with the Dow, S&P 500, and Nasdaq all hitting new record highs. In fact, the S&P 500 is up nearly 15% and the Nasdaq is up more than 21% since Election Day.
An industrial renaissance is here: President Trump has secured nearly $9 trillion in U.S. investment — nearly nine times more than Biden attracted in his entire four-year term — as companies report a resurgence in competitiveness thanks to the landmark reforms of the One Big Beautiful Bill.
Pritzker Poses With A Criminal Wanted In Four States
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker smiled and posed with a criminal wanted in FOUR states during an event he hosted with a state-funded program for violence prevention called “the Peacekeepers.”
Just days after this picture was taken, the criminal Pritzker posed with was charged with murder after he joined a crash-and-grab burglary crew that stole nearly $270,000 worth of merchandise and killed an innocent man.
Pritzker has since scrubbed evidence of the photo.
Pritzker and Illinois Democrats have lied about their crime emergency, defended criminals, and attacked law enforcement despite the devastating crime that is ravaging Illinois communities:
Pritzker bragged he is “succeeding” at fighting crime and then defended an illegal alien who killed an ICE agent
Rep. Mike Quigley falsely claimed that “crime trends are going down. It’s good news.”
Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton claimed, “there is no emergency here,” and that “ we are making progress here in Illinois and in the city of Chicago.”
Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson said “law enforcement is a sickness that has not led to safe communities.”
Will Pritzker explain why he posed with a wanted criminal and then attempted to scrub the evidence, while continuing to claim he is “succeeding” at fighting crime?
