Quinnipiac is doing swing-state polls that among other things ask people both about the state of the economy and their personal finances. Here's Michigan, but you see the same disconnect elsewhere.
I keep seeing claims that never mind the macro data, people's lived experience is of a bad economy. But consumer sentiment isn't a lived experience; it's a narrative, and one that is actually at odds with people's personal lives.

If you had to choose, would you say your current financial situation reflects a good or bad economy, and why?

Personally, I’d say it’s a no, but by economic stats it is a yes. The real life effects haven’t manifested much, but price increase is slowing a bit, so I’d say it’s a mixed bag.

people generally don't like to say that their personal finances aren't great.
