U.S. President Donald Trump claimed during his State of the Union address that 'prices are plummeting,' but a YouGov-MarketWatch poll reveals most Americans believe affordability has not improved under his administration. The data highlights a growing disconnect between official economic narratives and public perception, which could impact investor confidence in U.S. economic policies. Market analysts suggest this discrepancy may weigh on consumer sentiment and spending, key drivers of economic growth. The findings also raise questions about the effectiveness of Trump's economic agenda in addressing inflation concerns.
