A couple of sets of brand new poll results from Gallup show how increasingly difficult it has become for Americans to achieve any real financial security — for the first time since 2012 they are now worse off financially than a year ago and they still think stocks are a bad idea.
Interestingly, the share of people saying they are better off is about normal (based on data going back to the 1970s), but those saying they are worse off remains historically high.
Obviously, this is the 99%, not the 1% — that would be an interesting chart to see…
