A panel of undecided voters featured on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” unanimously raised their hands when asked if former President Donald Trump’s economic policies would be better for their families.
Around one in five homeowners and renters said they are skipping meals to afford housing under President Joe Biden’s economy, according to a Friday survey conducted by real estate company Redfin. The undecided voters, which included Americans from Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, cited housing and inflation for preferring Trump’s policies.

“I think he’s been absolutely disastrous for the economy,” a Wisconsin voter named Nathan said.
All eight voters raised their hands when asked if they “think President Trump’s policies on the economy would be better for your family, personally.”
The consumer price index (CPI), a broad measure of the price of everyday goods, jumped 3.5% on an annual basis in March and 0.4% month-over-month, according to the Wednesday Bureau of Labor Statistics release.
“We have areas here in Pennsylvania where it’s just at a standstill right now. Like, things are supposed to be being built and the interest rates are just way too high for people to, you know, invest and start moving around,” a Pennsylvania voter named Virginia said. “The interest rate is so high right now and I know they’re trying to cut the inflation down, but like, if nobody is building, no businesses are really coming to Pennsylvania right now to keep us moving forward.”
Tenisha, a Michigan voter, said she is having difficulty purchasing a home for the first time.
“I feel like he doesn’t even take accountability at all with what’s going on,” Gigi, a Pennsylvania voter, said. “Not even accountability, like he’s in denial that it’s happening.”
A Michigan voter named Omar, who previously voted for Biden, said the former president is “gaslighting” the American people.
