Trump May Soon Considering Arresting Anyone Who Claims Grocery Prices Haven't Come Down.
Meanwhile, Axios poll shows most U.S. adults stressed by grocery costs.
More than half of Americans are stressed about buying groceries — significantly more than the financial pressure they feel about credit card debt, child care or student debt, an AP-NORC poll out Monday found.
The big picture: President Trump campaigned on a promise to bring down grocery prices, but the data shows Americans are still stressed out about affording these basic necessities.
53% of Americans said the cost of groceries was a major source of stress right now, while 33% said it was a minor source of stress.
Just 14% said the price of groceries was not a source of stress.
The next-highest sources of major stress were the cost of housing (47%), the amount of money saved or earned (43%) and the cost of health care (42%).
