Poll: Americans Are Terrified About Social Security

Anxiety about the future of Social Security has reached a 15-year high, with 52% of Americans expressing significant concern, according to a recent Gallup poll. Concerns about the economy, health care costs, and inflation are also high. The worries stem from recent actions by the Trump administration, including cuts to the Social Security Administration and aggressive tariffs. Critics warn that these cuts could disrupt benefits for millions, echoing fears reminiscent of the 2008 financial crisis, but stemming from self-inflicted issues rather than external factors.
