A majority of focus group members agreed that Biden’s economy is hurting.
NBC News reports, “Ten of the 14 focus group participants lamented that the economy is in dire straits, struggling to make ends meet with rising prices at grocery stores, rising costs of living, and large student loan debts.” “I was doing it,” he revealed. “And these voters broadly criticized the Biden administration’s lack of a track record, even when presented with the administration’s own messaging, such as a White House fact sheet touting its record of helping Black Americans.”
“I don’t think Biden is doing anything to make living more affordable,” Carolyn G., 76, said of the economy.
“I think this is all political nonsense,” said another voter, Julius C., of the White House’s fact sheet listing accomplishments on the economy. “People are hurting.”
“I’m confident the numbers are statistically accurate, but they weren’t statistically significant,” said voter Michael G. “If it was a significant change in these areas, it would be obvious. We could all see it and feel it in our daily lives.”
“We’ll all know people who were struggling to get a home who were able to get a home, and we’ll help people move from being on the edge to living a better life. You would have seen conditions change,” Michael said.
