“CBS Mornings” co-host Tony Dokoupil reported how he and his team couldn’t find anybody outside a New Hampshire grocery that was “feeling good about the economy.”
While previewing an upcoming CBS News segment set to air on Sunday, Dokoupil mentioned how people complained about higher food prices, despite macro signs that the economy is improving.
The co-host claimed that President Biden continues to try and sell his economic achievements — aka “Bidenomics” — ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
While speaking to local New Hampshire CBS anchors, Dokoupil reported, “People are really bummed out about the economy here in New Hampshire. Even if the overall big picture numbers are going in the right direction, and even if people’s own personal experiences in general are going okay, there’s a lot of gloom.”
Noting why, he said, “Food prices, for example, are generally going up. And we talked to a bunch of people outside of a grocery store in Derry, New Hampshire — we couldn’t find anybody feeling good about the economy.”
The anchor expressed that the negative view is “just human nature,” adding, “Psychologically, you go into a store, if you’re paying more for items that you get every week, that really sticks with you, it really annoys you, it gets you down. People were upset about it.”
He did note that locals are surviving, that they are “making it” despite the higher prices, although they are annoyed.
“Yeah, they’re making it. But are they bothered by the fact that frozen OJ has gone up double digits and that steak on Friday’s up double digits? Absolutely. And that’s really driving people’s perspective on things,” he declared.

The problem is they asked the question in front of a grocery store. They would have gotten different answers in front of a bar.
You beat me on that one but should also include those on “entitlements” outside of SS.
The cheap cat food I’ve been buying regularly to feed the stray cats in my neighborhood used to be under $5 for a 3.15 lb bag 2 yrs ago. Last week it was $6.49. I left my very first “I did that!” Biden sticker right next to the price tag on the shelf because I was so angry.
The economy is a small price to pay against a Nazi anti-abortionist.
and before the end of the day he was fired....
Biden and CBS telling the serfs, “You never had it so good. Now eat your gruel and get to work.”
Small bags of potato chips for $6. Unbelievable. Potatoes, oil and salt, for crying out loud.
The price numbers are one thing, but the “shrinkflation” is horrendous on top of it all. Everything is smaller except the gallon of milk and the dozen eggs. Even the pound of coffee beans is now 12 ounces.
You’re right.
Many of these fools are Massachusetts transplants, destroying New Hampshire.
After years of trying to tell people that “try and” was incorrect grammar, we see that we have lost. Soon, “should have” will lose to “should of”. Bunch of loosers.
can’t feel good when your feelin’ broke
$15 burger and a $4 coke

In one interview, Dokoupil spoke to a local woman and tried to reassure her of the fact that the government had brought the inflation rate down.
That just means the prices aren’t going up as fast as they were last year.
Yep. And those in the Ruling Class, who are effectively immune. Everybody else is pretty much screwed. And that’s OK with the parasites and the ‘elite’.
Amateur. He was supposed to get the Soros paid street people ready to be “discovered” walking past. Poor planning. This time.
Better planning: Pollsters happen to come upon people who hate Trump by doing their survey at the picnic and coffee breaks area behind the CNN building.
Fundamentally Transforming America into a third-world country. Obama being puppet master for an incompetent Joe Biden.
But he “experts” have numbers to show how good it is.
