resident Biden dismissed polls showing voters disapprove of his handling of the economy and trust former President Trump more on the issue Wednesday.
"We've already turned it around," Biden insisted when asked by CNN host Erin Burnett about low consumer confidence about the economy, including housing costs going up, real income adjusted for inflation going down, and weak economic growth since Biden took office.
Biden cited a survey indicating the American people "think their nation is not in good shape, but they’re personally in good shape," before asserting, "The polling data has been wrong all along."
He knocked polling methodology, asking, "CNN, how many folks you have to call to get one response?"
"The idea that we’re in a situation where things are so bad, folks — I mean, we’ve created more jobs. We’ve made — we’re in a situation where people have access to good-paying jobs," the president said.
While he conceded that inflation is "really worrisome to people," he continued to tout his administration's record on the economy.
"When I started this administration, people were saying there was going to be a collapse of the economy. We have the strongest economy in the world. Let me say that again - in the world," he said.
Biden denied Burnett's assertion that last week's GDP fell "far short of expectations." and pointed to "the response of the market."

Yes. National unemployment statistics mean nothing to the guy who has to work two jobs to make ends meet. Bragging about “bringing down inflation” doesn’t cut any ice when the grocery bill includes four dollar milk, five dollar eggs, six dollar butter and seven dollar bacon.
We have problems. You can’t fix problems if you steadfastly refuse to admit they exist. But of course the president isn’t interested in good governance, just the retention of power
Brainless Biden says what he’s told.
He doesn’t even know what day, place, or time it is.
He also has a hard time finding hands to shake. Sheesh!
Thanks for helping DJT get elected, again!

I can agree with that right down the line. Every single point tracks with me.
And RFK Jr. may have captured a few more Dem. votes with his pronouncement that he supports abortion up to birth and it should be Federal law.
