Something can be a fact and a belief at the same time. E.G. some people believe the moon landing was faked or that the Earth is flat. It’s a fact that the cost of living was lower under Biden yet some people believe that it’s lower under Trump. Those people are just as crazy as the flat Earthers, and yet they still exist. The real concerning thing is how many of them there are though. The fact that it’s not something like 1% or fewer that believes Trump is better is really concerning but sadly not surprising. Your average Trump supporter is really dumb and ignorant.
Because if 40% of people believed the Earth was flat you’d probably want to know that. It shows what a disturbingly large chunk of the US is just straight delusional and to a certain extent how we got into this situation in the first place. Decades after decades of propaganda and the constant stream of bullshit from places like Fox News and then Facebook has reduced a significant chunk of the US population into idiots that are literally incapable of just observing reality and coming to a reasonable conclusion.
Because for some people it can be cheaper, especially if they moved. So, the poll sheds light on for how many people are their lives more or less expensive even if on average we know most prices went up for most products.
Sure, but the poll itself is already dumb. Why poll opinions on a fact? It implies there’s any actual value or some truth to this.
Because very often people vote based on how they feel and that does not always align with the facts

Yes, but why even poll for that?

It does, but that doesn’t seem to have been the intend of the poll
