The DNC says Americans are better off under Bidenomics; a new poll says not so fast…
According to a Mediaite report, the DNC’s X account was the victim of incredibly poor timing as it posted a graph touting Joe Biden’s economy just hours after a new poll from The Financial Times showed only 24% of Americans are happier in the Biden economy.
From Mediaite:
Thirty-one percent of Democratic respondents said that since Biden moved into the White House in January 2021 they have become either somewhat or much worse off, while just 24% said their position has improved.
Voters more generally are markedly less optimistic. A combined 16% say they are somewhat or much better off under Biden, while 32% say they’re somewhat worse off and 23% say they’re in a “much” worse financial position.
Thirty-three percent of respondents said that Biden’s policies had had a very detrimental effect on the country’s economy and an additional 15% said they had had a “somewhat” detrimental impact. A combine 26% said they had helped “somewhat” or “a lot.”
The same poll also found that inflation remains voters’ biggest concern with the current economic climate.
“Every group — Democrats, Republicans and independents — list rising prices as by far the biggest economic threat . . . and the biggest source of financial stress,” the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business’s Erik Gordon told the Times.
That's Bidenomics at work. 🙌 pic.twitter.com/UxY6977roc
