BOOOOOOOO CNBC:

Headline: 25% of Americans say they worry about money 'all the time'

Body: 25% worry 'all' or 'most' of the time that their household income won’t be enough to cover their expenses.

Link to 25% worry 'all or 'most' of the time: Leads to unrelated article about New Yorkers.

Underlying poll: "11% of Americans say they worry about money 'all the time.'

It's even worse: the body is actually that financial optimism has "reached levels not seen in more than 16 years”
The Gallup article they link to (also the source) says...

"Overall, just 25% of Americans say they worry "all" or "most" of the time that their family income will not meet their expenses; 37% worry "some of the time"; and 37% "almost never" worry."

The source of this easily discoverable in the PDF Gallup links to on their article.

I don't read CNBC anymore, I found their articles are clickbait opinions.

They don't seem to do investigations, but rather reporting stories with buzz producing titles.
