Perhaps undecided voters will decide the outcome of the 2024 election. And if you’re President Joe Biden, that’s probably not a good thing.
On Wednesday, MSNBC featured a recent focus group of undecided voters in the three battleground states that will pave the way to the White House: Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. Biden won these states in 2020, but Donald Trump won them in 2016.
Voters praised Biden’s policies on abortion, student debt, climate change and his attitude toward “disenfranchised” people.
But on Issues voters say are most important All agreed that Trump was the better choice given the economy, inflation, immigration, the border crisis, and more. In fact, all participants agreed that President Trump’s economic policies are better for them and their families.
“I think he’s been an absolute disaster for the economy,” one voter said of Biden.
Another voter said: “I feel like he’s not taking any accountability or even accountability for what’s going on in the economy. He’s denying that it’s happening.” he said.
“Biden needs to listen to the people because when he talks about how the economy is doing, he’s talking about the stock market. He’s not looking at homelessness and unemployment. .They don’t think about how much it costs to go to the grocery store,” said another source. Voters who supported Biden in 2020. “He’s literally gaslighting everyone in the process.”
In 1992, Democratic strategist James Carville proposed a novel political theory to the American people: “Economy, idiot!” Carville’s famous quip has been proven true time and time again.
Undecided voters in focus groups believe Trump is a “bully,” “mean” or divisive. But they like his economic policies, and if Americans vote with their pocketbooks, the former president will be sitting for less than seven months before voters head to the ballot box.
Unfortunately for Biden, focus groups are not an anomaly.
Polls in recent months have shown that while voters trust Trump on the issues they care about most, they trust Biden on issues they don’t often vote for, such as abortion, climate change and voting rights. has been done.
The media is trying to support Mr. Biden — publishing countless articles that paint the picture as if the economy is doing better than it thinks — but if Americans are on board with anything, Well, that’s a bank account. They know how much their groceries, utilities, gas, cars, rent, and housing cost before the Biden administration, and they are acutely aware of how inflation has reduced the power of their dollar. There is. And the focus groups proved once again that Biden’s economic narrative is not resonating with voters.
If the election results leave voters undecided in a handful of battleground states, remember Carville’s paper. Especially if inflation worsens.
