66% of Dems believe economy is in good condition

Simon Rosenberg
This is a very important bit of data. The Democratic coalition believes we are better off today. And we are actually better off today.

Approval Rating, and why VP Harris didn't separate herself more from the President as his ratings are so low.

This statistic is a perfect example of why Approval Ratings are no longer a valid measure of anything. We see all manner of statistical measurements that show the miracle turn around Biden accomplished, and yet a third of DEMOCRATS still view the economy as being bad.

Almost 90 percent of Trump voters think the economy is bad, because that is what they have been told and conditioned to say.

So how do we think this translates when it comes to the Biden overall "approval"? With a third of his base and almost all of MAGA voters bashing the economy, despite all evidence to the contrary, and reporters always willing to speak to some dumbass in a diner in Malone, NY, we get headlines talking bad about the President and his performance rating.

What could Biden have done differently to counter this criticism? Not a god-damned thing. What should Harris be second guessing him on to satisfy pundits and posters on DU?
Same answer.
