Are you better off today under President Joe Biden than you were a year earlier? And are you financially prepared for a downturn in the economy or a job loss? The March I&I/TIPP Poll suggests most Americans would answer "no" to both of those questions.

The poll asked: "Generally speaking, is your family better off today than it was one year ago, worse off than it was one year ago, or about the same as it was a year ago?"

Fewer than one in five (20%) said they were "better off." while more than twice that number — 42% — said they were "worse off." Another 36% said they were "about the same."
