According to an Axios survey by The Harris Poll, most Americans believe it is harder to afford groceries compared to a year ago. The findings, released Thursday, show that 47% of the general public feel pain in their wallets, while 34% said that prices are about the same. Meanwhile, 19% of respondents think groceries are now easier to afford.
Among independents, 54% say groceries are more costly, compared to 50% of Democrats and 34% of Republicans. Republicans remained more split in their responses — with 28% arguing that they are easier to afford, while 37% say they are similar to last year.
The survey also found that 8 in 10 Americans believe the president has “significant influence” over the U.S. economy, and only 47% believe the current administration has had a positive impact on it, signaling a pressure point for Trump and the GOP ahead of the 2026 midterms. Less than 1 in 3 respondents maintain that tariffs have been beneficial for the economy, business or personal finances, while most Americans — standing at 63% — worry of shortages of key goods due to Trump’s signature policy.
Why would anyone ever believe the man who has never been grocery shopping in his life? Does anyone really think that Donny 2 Inches actually knows the price of a bottle of milk or a loaf of bread?
$6.25 for 2 big jugs of milk at Costco, as of a couple days ago.
Figured I would mention it, just so people can compare their own milk prices against it.
If you want people to do fair comparisons, “big jugs” doesn’t cut it. How big were they in liters/pints ?
1 gallon each. At CostCo, they are a two pack.
