I mean, how is Biden supposed to be polling well when the media, and especially the NY Times, simply lies about the economy and how well things generally actually are?
Honestly, I don’t think many of the people that are voting for Trump based on the economy being terrible are regularly reading the NYT. Around 90% of NYT subscribers are Democrats.
The people that are already 100% committed to voting for Trump aren't doing so because the economy is "terrible". They may use the economy as an excuse for voting for Trump when they discuss their thoughts on the 2024 election with themselves or others but the current the underlying issues in the economy haven't yet begun to have a wide reaching impact and Biden deserves only a small portion of the blame for the underlying issues. An economic downturn will happen within the next 2 to 3 years and it will be felt by the majority of Americans. This next downturn is will be a result of the cyclical nature of our large economy combined with the after effects of trillions of dollars being pumped into the economy in a very short period of time in 2020 and 2021. Trump doesn't have the integrity necessary to hold the position of most powerful person in the world. Most Trump supporters are smart enough to realize this but they push this knowledge to the very back corners of their minds because they don't want to admit they were wrong in supporting him all along. It's basic human nature at it's worst. Yes, in most elections, it's the economy, economy, economy and the economy could actually become a primary factor that causes some undecided voters not to vote for Biden if
the downturn is being felt by more people in October. As of right now, Trump supporters and committed Trump voters aren't in Trump's corner because of the Biden economy.
What downturn?
With the exception of inflation, which is rooted in the COVID recovery, there is no downtown.
GDP is up
Unemployment is down.
Job growth is at record highs.
Energy production is at all time highs.
The stock market is riding highs.
How was the play Mrs Lincoln? With the exception of everything being more expensive, the economy is great
“You get paid $100 more a month, but the price of owning a home is triple what it was in 2020 and eggs are $5 a carton so the economy is doing great!”
The cost of housing is people’s biggest expense, followed by essentials like food, gas, and car notes. Housing and cars are exponentially more expensive than they were before Biden came into office so these gains you’re citing in the economy don’t even come close for making up for people’s ballooning costs. The “the Dow is up so stfu about not ever being able to afford a home because prices have increased while rates have tripled” messaging is very tone deaf and not winning anyone over.
The president doesn't set gas prices.
The president doesn't set housing rent or mortgage rates.
The president doesn't set car prices.
It is called Capitalism. If you don't want Capitalism, tell it to the GOP, who has labeled the democrats as socialists. Are you for socialism or communism, where prices are set by the government? Because it is clear that the Democrats, despite the rhetoric, are not.
I would also add that the GOP has shot down different anti-price gouging legislation, because Capitalism.
Can't have it both ways.
