It really is dumb, but it is an easy fix. "Are you better off than you were 5 years ago?" I think the Dems love hanging how bad the response to the pandemic was on Trump, and rightfully so. So the Republicans should take it back before the pandemic. There are many people on the lower end of the economy that aren't better off then they were 5 year ago. There was low unemployment then too, but housing and food costs were much, much lower. You could buy a car with zero interest, used cars were much cheaper than new cars, mortgage rates were at 3-4%, etc. etc.
