Financial Concerns at an All-Time High

According to a new Gallup poll released on Thursday, worries about financial issues are at an all-time high among Americans. Key concerns include affordability, inflation, and the federal budget deficit. The survey reveals that the majority of respondents express a 'great deal' of worry about critical economic issues.

Key Findings of the Poll

• 60% are worried about the economy.
• 59% concerned about the affordability and availability of health care.
• 56% show worry regarding rising inflation rates.
• 53% express concern over federal spending.

In addition, around 52% of respondents have significant worries about the Social Security system. Moreover, half of U.S. adults report concerns about homelessness and hunger. Nearly 48% express anxiety over wealth and income distribution disparities.

Political Divide in Financial Concerns
