“Everything is fine” on the economy, President Joe Biden said on Christmas Eve, exasperated by reporters' questions. “Look, start reporting the right way.”
Even Biden's allies in the media are doing everything they can to convince Americans of what they know to be untrue: that families will be better off in 2024 than they were in 2020. . That is the Achilles heel of the Biden administration, and indeed the Democratic Party. Hope for November.
The Democratic Party is putting aside kitchen issues for the sake of some woke people who despise and insult Americans, especially the black and Hispanic families who have made up the backbone of the party.

MSNBC, for example, cleverly tried to make the poll numbers seem less dire for the president, saying, “Polls show that views of the health of the U.S. economy are improving.” Those “improved views”? Currently, he says, a whopping 29% of Americans believe the economy is improving.

Heather Long wrote in the Washington Post that Americans are simply wrong. She claims that the US economy has “soared” under President Biden.
“There is only one apt word to describe the U.S. economy in 2023: ‘miracle,’” she wrote. “This doesn't mean everything was perfect, but it's important to celebrate the economic equivalent of an underdog athlete winning a gold medal.”
Here's what that analysis and administration must ignore: The damage has already been done. Declining inflation is a relief, but prices are not going down.
“This is devastating for American families,” said EJ Antoni of the Heritage Foundation. “People are paying 20% more for food and 38% more for gas than they were when Biden took office. They're also paying 28% more to keep their homes warm this winter. And these are the Biden administration's own numbers. People are obviously poorer.”
That's because inflation has a “snowballing effect” on household budgets, especially as wages haven't kept pace with consumers' inflation rates, CNN added.

The simple fact is that American families are worse off under President Biden, but this spin cannot hide that.
Let's look at Biden's support among Hispanics. No matter how many times the administration uses the word “Latino,” it loses more and more Hispanics who don't live in that rare Ivy League woke atmosphere.
“Former President Trump leads President Biden among Hispanic and young voters, new poll finds,” The Hill reported on New Year's Day. “Biden had a 34% approval rating among Hispanic voters surveyed, compared to 39% for Trump, compared to 2020, when Biden won 65% of the demographic. This represents a significant decline since then.”
The news gets even worse for President Biden. His approval rating among black voters has fallen from 87% in 2020 to just 63% now. Even young voters are turning away from the Democratic Party.

“In 2020, Mr. Biden defeated Mr. Trump by an overwhelming 24 points within that group. However, the poll now shows that Mr. Trump leads among voters under 35 with 37% support and 33% for Mr. Biden. It turns out that there are,” The Hill noted.
What's happening here is an expansion of a broader trend. As the Democratic Party becomes increasingly progressive, working families, who have traditionally formed its support base, are being left behind.
As my colleague Rafa Béjart recently pointed out, “The left's most vocal leaders want Americans to believe that racism remains deeply rooted in this country. The message has little support among Hispanics in Texas.

why? Because what's important to them is what's always important to American families. It's a strong economy, effective schools that teach real skills and knowledge, and opportunities to better their lives.
That's why the Biden administration's claims about a booming economy feel and are hollow. Americans can see the reality in their monthly budget.
