Why would that require a poll? Just look at the numbers, it's not a matter of opinion.

The poll is a measurement of perception.

[–] Gigan@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago (2 children)

In this case, perception matches reality

It does, and thats an important measurement. Sometimes it doesn't, and that requires further action elsewhere (i.e. climate change).

And yet, I feel like I see a different article every other day saying, "the economy doesn't suck it just seems like that to everyone who isn't well off." 😡

Americans don't care about facts.

Judging by a recent presidential candidate poll, this is correct. Americans only seem to care about alternative facts
