Just 34% approve of Biden’s handling of the economy as he hits the road to talk up ‘Bidenomics’

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden had a tough sell Wednesday: Convincing voters the U.S. economy is flourishing.

With the president set to showcase “Bidenomics” in a speech in Chicago, a new poll finds that only one in three U.S. adults approve of his economic leadership. That 34% figure is even lower than his overall approval rating of 41%, according to the survey from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Biden’s approval figures have barely moved for the past year and a half, a source of concern for a president seeking reelection on his ability to govern and make a positive difference for the middle class and the U.S. economy. He wants voters to connect new infrastructure projects, factory construction and the rise of electric vehicles and renewable energy to the initiatives he signed into law during the first two years of his administration.

The new poll identifies a weakness within Biden’s own base. Many of the Democrats he needs to marshal in 2024 are comparatively unenthusiastic about his economic record. Seventy-two percent within his party say they approve of his handling of his job overall, but just 60% say they approve of his handling of the economy.

It will be a close general election because the world is insane. Imagine a sane parallel universe that could observe us where people are scratching their heads thinking, “WTF”..

A lot of people are on the receiving end of income distribution. A lot of people are mindless zombies.

The AP is on a campaign today They’re totally irrelevant

No. Nope.

34% of people do not approve of Bidens handling of anything other tgan hiding in the basement

He got maybe 20% of the vote in 2020. Subtract from there.

We have literal “Hoovervilles” (kind of unfair to Hoover but that’s a different topic) in the neighboring cities. There are hundreds of tents and broken down RVs lining streets everywhere. Last fall I went to visit relatives in the Bay Area. Mile after mile of broken down RVs and vans parked along the Camino Real in front of Stanford. I had never seen anything like it. ALWAYS room and resources for illegal aliens, but not for American homeless.

I was in W-M check out line this morning and spotted some Snicker bars and decided to buy myself a treat................Until I saw the price of $1.51 for a small single bar, smaller then the ones I used to buy as a kid for $.05 each. Didn’t take me long to put it back.
