Nowhere else does Joe Biden poll worse than on the economy - and for some reason, his administration has made pitching it the number one selling point of their 2024 campaign.
Speaking to Shannon Bream, Biden’s Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, Jared Bernstein, rattled off a few aspects of the Biden economic agenda that poll well, such as giving Medicare more power in negotiating drug prices (a policy supported by Trump), capping insulin costs (which Trump also pushed) and offering tax incentives for manufacturing jobs (which Trump’s Tax Cuts and Jobs Act also did).
“These are the components of Bidenomics," Bernstein said. “So, when someone tells you Americans don't like Bidenomics, it's false. Americans approve of the components above 80 percent. And that's because these measures are helping do what President Biden has long sought to do in this economy: build it from the middle out and the bottom up.”
In the case of Bidenomics, the sum of all its countless parts polls much worse than the few individual components Bernstein highlighted - hence why he cherry picked only a few aspects of it, none of which were even unique to Biden.
Biden polls worse on the economy than he does overall, and even among Democrats, with some polling showing only 65% approve of Bidenomics, which is an abysmal level of support among his own flock.
So far this year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has revised downward every single monthly payroll report (with the exception of August’s figures, which were just released), which included a downward revision of 110,000 jobs for June and July.
