If by better you mean stock market is doing great then sure. However, actual economy that people are experiencing is far worse now.
Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll has conducted a poll of citizens in January, 2024. Among 2,346 respondents, 6 out of 10 people think the current path is wrong. What’s notable is that the percentage of “Democrats” who think the country is on the right track dropped over the month from 58% to 52%.
Perceptions of the US economy are also very negative at 63%. This is also one of the worst numbers in recent memory. 58% believe the US economy is weak right now.
Meanwhile, the US’s economists and their
propaganda ragspublications are screaming as loud as they can that the economy is great.And for some strange reason, no one believes them. Hmm!
Remember what it was like 4 years ago? It’s better than that. A low bar, but they have a point 🤷

Is Business Insider one of those rags? Their economy section looks generally apathetic if not negative for the US economy.
