AP analysis by John Cunniff cites Albert Sindlinger arguing Ford’s claim of recovery alienated many Americans. Sindlinger suggests two-thirds were told the economy improved, while one-third remained skeptical or resentful, contributing to Carter’s victory. The piece notes the gap between presidential messaging and voter sentiment.
Sindlinger argues ordinary people feel the economy remains weak and distrust official data. His weekly telephone polling of 1,100 families finds most Americans struggle to buy, with one third doing well enough to skew averages. He says a tax cut would not help, and lower prices are the remedy. Inflation and unemployment worry him as figures rise post election.
