A new poll from the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research highlights financial challenges many Americans face this holiday season. Under President Donald Trump, high prices for groceries, electricity and gifts are affecting households nationwide.
The poll indicates that about half of U.S. adults find it harder to afford holiday presents. Many are choosing to cut back on spending or delay big purchases to manage their budgets effectively.
Additionally, the report suggests Trump’s tariffs have contributed to inflation concerns, adding another layer of financial pressure during the holidays. This economic strain is prompting Americans to rethink their spending habits this season.
