Americans have been sour on the economy since President Joe Biden was sworn into office. As we head into an election season that is likely to be a 2020 rematch between Biden and former President Donald Trump, voters give Republicans and Trump an edge on economic issues. An April 12-14 poll from Echelon Insights found that 57 percent of all voters somewhat or strongly disapproved of the way Biden is handling the economy, and favored Trump on making the economy work better by 48 percent to 40 percent. That's only a recent example of what surveys have routinely shown: Voters aren't happy with Biden's handling of the economy.
But what exactly are voters disapproving of? What do they mean when they talk about the economy? Therein lies a disconnect between most economic indicators that economists consider — things like GDP, the unemployment rate, job growth and inflation — which are all looking up, and how voters feel. When voters measure economic well-being, they're much more likely to use more personal metrics, such as how easily their family can meet their basic needs. That can be more of a feeling than an exact calculation, and right now, the Biden reelection campaign is battling the general sense that everything has gotten a little bit worse.

A little bit? How about a whole lot. Keep going though. You are writing Trump's reelection platform for him. Clearly out of touch cream of the elite crop fools and scoundrels out of touch with the real country.

It’s a matter of ‘haves’ and ‘have nots’. She and many others—usually older—, maybe retired, had/have successful careers and are immune from inflation and Bidenomics. They’re comfortable.
Young and middle agers with families and mortgages are suffering the brunt of this economy such that there is no middle class and finding it difficult climbing up to a comfortable status. They are ‘have nots’ in this economy and outnumber the ‘haves’. They’re uncomfortable... and won’t be supporting the guy they hold responsible.
imho
You stupid Americans don’t understand how good things are! What’s wrong with you? Maybe a touch of the lash would help you understand. Things have never been better!
They are such morons. None so blind as those who choose not to see.
Eggs $2.99 a dozen? Whole lot cheaper than Russian EGGZ so see how good you have it.
Where? Out here in farming country in Texas it’s a whole lot more than that.

Government: “..But..but we have the school system, all the mainstream media.. Hollywood… We have ALL of them pushing our agenda through our propaganda… WHY are those idiot peasants still trying to think for themselves?!?!?…”
We ALL should be aware of what the next step will be… Oh.. they’ll get us to roll over and comply, all right… six ways til Sunday..

Now THAT is an ABC headline if there ever was one.
Ever notice how when people don’t want to answer a direct question with a direct response, they say “it’s complicated”? I guess the economy is complicated. Or as Paul Krugman might say “it’s nuanced”. It’s all Newspeak for don’t believe your own eyes.
You've got to be kidding.
Wanna know why?
Because brandon just officially surpassed jimmah cahtah for a complete lack of knowledge of the economy he created.
I just got a quote for new windows.
High price, but within reason based upon current circumstances.
Then the loan conditions came in.
My credit is in the 800’s.
10 year loan, 29.88%!!!!!
This is actually standard across the market!!!!!
jimmah came close to, but never crossed the 20% line!!!!
It does take a rocket scientist to figure out why Americans don’t like Biden’s economy. A trip to the grocery store, a fill up of gas for you car or paying your utility bills should answer that question.
Re your suggestion for the media: their heads are already stuck so far up Biden’s ass that they can’t see why voters aren’t as tickled PINKO about his economy as they are.
Those who have declared war on us, on the Republic for which WE stand, have become empowered because of OUR...sloth.
"A Republic, if you can keep it"
Pffft, after all the sacrifice it took to create it, it is being stolen by a thief in the night, without a shot being fired.
“The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.”
Face it, we are all guilty of doing...nothing.
Pushing-off our responsibilities on "politicians" is like handing our bank accounts to Bernie Madoff.
These people obviously don’t buy their own groceries or gas.
When I think of economic theory, I think of Monica Pots.
