Summary

An AP-NORC poll reveals skepticism about Donald Trump's ability to lower costs like groceries, housing, or healthcare in his first year, with only 2 in 10 Americans expressing strong confidence. Confidence is slightly higher for job creation (3 in 10).

Even among Republicans, less than half are very confident in his ability to address healthcare or food costs.

Health care remains a weak spot, with only 16% of Americans confident he can lower costs.

To be fair, that reason is only what they claimed.

Oh I know. Plenty of them it was more about not voting for that n-- bitch. But they knew they could call her that out loud, so they did it in their head and claimed it was about the economy.

Please denote when you're quoting someone else with quotes. Unless you want to have said "n-- bitch"

If someone really wants to think that was what I was saying and couldn't figure it out from the context, I honestly do not care.
