Emerson College July 2018 National Poll Are you better or worse off financially than you were two years ago? Emerson College July 2018 National Poll The financial situation of voters could be a major reason for the improvement in Trump’s approval rating. When asked if they (voters) were better or worse off financially than they were two years ago 42% responded better off, while 26% said worse off.
