Here are some troubling poll numbers for Republicans heading into the midterm elections:

Forty percent (40%) of voters say they are better off today than they were four years ago. A Napolitan News Service national survey conducted by RMG Research found 54% say they are not better off.

The survey also found that 29% say their income has kept up with inflation over the past year. Sixty-three percent (63%) say their income has been falling behind.

Yet, our latest monthly income tracker shows pretty much the opposite. Median household income is UP by almost $3,000, not down.

The problem for Republicans is that perception IS reality in politics. All WE can do is tell people the truth.
