NEW YORK, May 8 (Xinhua) -- As the U.S. Social Security Administration undergoes massive changes and staffing cuts ushered in by the Trump administration, an increasing share of older Americans -- particularly Democrats --aren't confident the benefit will be available to them, a new poll has showed.
The share of older Americans who are "not very" or "not at all" confident has risen somewhat since 2023, according to The Associated Press (AP)-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted in April. In the poll, about three in ten U.S. adults aged 60 or older are "not very" or "not at all" confident that social security benefits will be there for them when they need it, up from about 2 in 10 in an AP-NORC poll conducted in 2023.
