The percentage of Americans who said they had enough money to buy food at any time in the last 12 months rose to 81.2% in March, Gallup reported April 24.
That’s up from the three-year low of 79.8% in October, according to the Gallup poll.
Despite this positive trend, the poll showed that Americans' access to basic life necessities still had not risen to pre-financial crisis levels. More Americans are still struggling to pay for things like food, shelter and healthcare than in early 2008, according to the poll.
