It is a negative connotation, as in stingy or ungenerous. Slang nouns with the same connotation as miser are skinflint, cheapskate, and moneygrubber.

Does connotation use propaganda?

Not always. You can have connotation with or without propaganda. "Frugal" and "miserly" both refer to someone who is likely to save the money he gets, but each word has a connotation. A "frugal" person is careful not to waste his money. A "miserly" person is assumed to keep more than he needs to keep because he doesn't want anybody else to get any of it. Either of these could be a simple opinion about an individual. But if someone speaks of miserly heirs to inherited fortunes, it might be considered propaganda as it paints a whole group of people as greedy.


which word has negative connotations?

The word "cheap," on the other hand, has a negative connotation and is often seen as an insult. Like thrifty, however, cheap also describes someone who does not spend money lavishly, but it is usually associated with a miserly, stingy person. Negative connotation can depend on individual perception as well.
