Is the economy better than before Trump retook office? See the data
"On Oct. 14, the United States set a record. The national average price for a gallon of regular gasoline remained over $4 more days of the year than ever before, according to GasBuddy data, surpassing the previous annual record of 157 days set in 2022. By September 2024, it was hovering near $3.22, according to AAA. "
This seems a bit disingenuous or perhaps... dishonest?
Gas Prices Under Barack Obama (2009–2017) — US Gas Gauge
Let's look at gas prices under Obama. The price of gas reached $3.97 per gallon BUT that price was not in 2026 dollars. $3.97 during his term would equal $5.68 in 2025 dollars.
Gas Prices Under Joe Biden (2021–2025) — US Gas Gauge
The highest average under Biden was $5.01 which would be $5.47 in 2025 dollars.
