The fight against rising prices has essentially been won. But few in the electorate seem aware.

Summary

President Joe Biden’s economic achievements—lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturing—are largely unrecognized by the public, despite his successes.

His tenure saw landmark legislation like the Inflation Reduction Act, CHIPS Act, and major infrastructure investments.

However, Biden’s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a “propaganda problem” rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Biden’s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    Young people have no hope of buying a house in my area.

    In my neighborhood all the drug store shelves are bare (Rite Aid) and there’s soon to be only one grocery store to choose from (Kroger).

    When I’m getting groceries the checkers are talking about how the store is going to close if the merger happens and they’ll all lose their jobs.

    No ‘media’ lied to me and convinced me that the economy is wack. I see it every day.

    What I’m not hearing in the media is recognition of working folks’ struggles. Failure to address this kept Dems home.
