This came from a new Wall Street Journal poll of over 1,500 American adults that was absolutely loaded with critical findings, including:

71% of Americans are concerned they won’t share in the benefits of economic growth,

74% are concerned their wages won’t keep up with prices,

68% are concerned about the cost of housing,

75% are concerned over the cost of health care and prescriptions, and

78% of Americans are not confident that life in our children’s generation will be better than it has been for us.
