This really isn't Joe Biden's week. Or his month. Or his year. Or his presidency.
Beyond that he's doing okay though:
Many [Americans] say the job market is good and that jobs have increased over the last year – but it's still inflation driving views, and even those who say the job market is ok still don't rate the economy well. Americans are basing this on personal experience: two-thirds say higher prices have been difficult or even a hardship, and now forcing many to make cutbacks.
And while the White House has often stressed the jobs number, people's focus on prices continues to bring negative ratings for both the economy and the president's handling of it.
How low are those "negative ratings?" Well:
[T]he president's overall job approval is 42%, that's down one point from last month; it's been hovering in the low 40s for months now, and that tick down does mark its lowest point yet.
What we're all feeling right about now:
When people say the economy is bad, it isn't because of jobs. Just 17% give that as a reason. Negative judgments are overwhelmingly based on inflation, and gas prices.
Anyway, with the economy on the cusp of recession, inflation at historic highs, crime spiraling, Democrats clinging to hysterical COVID theater... what is Biden trying to do to save his party in November? Anything?
Oh:
I've said it before and I'll say it again: I can't wait for November!
