During his presidential campaign in 1980, Ronald Reagan asked Americans, “Are you better off today than you were four years ago?” Since then, this question has served as a key standard that sitting presidents running for reelection have been held to.
Gallup’s most recent survey found a clear majority of registered voters (56%) saying they are better off now than they were four years ago, while 32% said they are worse off.”
With that backdrop, let’s pivot toward the featured focus for this evening. As usual, the featured focus follows tonight’s quotable quotes, left-right headlines, and two of our three market snapshot graphics at the closing bell today. The final market graphic that summarizes over a dozen manufactured housing industry connected stocks at the closing bell follow the featured focus, recent and related report links.

Where Business, Politics and Investing Can Meet
CNS News today reported the following.
- 2020 (Sept. 14-28): 56% (32% worse off) Trump
- 2012 (Dec. 14-17): 45% – End of Obama’s first term
- 2004 (Oct. 22-24): 47% – End of Bush’s first term
- 1992 (Oct. 23-25): 38% – Georg Bush, Sr.
- 1984 (July 27-30): 44% – Reagan’s first term
On Monday, WKRC-TV asked Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden why the 56% of registered voters who feel they’re better off today should vote for him. Biden’s response: “They probably shouldn’t.”
WKRC-TV Reporter: “Gallup reported last week, 56% of Americans said that they were better off today than they were four years ago – would have been under the Obama-Biden administration. So why should people who feel that they are better off today, under the Trump administration, vote for you?”
Joe Biden: “Well, if they think that, they probably shouldn’t. If they think — 54% of the American people are better off economically today than they were under our administration? Well, their memory is not very good, quite frankly.”
MHProNews Analysis and Commentary in Brief
There are some things that just can’t be made up.
In fairness, registered voters is a useful category, but the superior category at this stage of a campaign is the ‘likely voter’ category.
It should be noted that several conservative sources have said that major polls are oversampling Democrats and are including a higher sampling of suburban Republicans. Women in the later category are not as likely to be favorable toward the president.
Those points noted, there are reasons to think that Democrats have certain advantages, while President Trump and his supporters have others.
With 3 weeks to election day, every honest vote will matter. Dig into the reports to be an informed voter, and then urge your circle of influence to do the same.
