As 2023 comes to a close, President Biden finds himself in Saint Croix, reflecting on the year and touting the state of the economy. However, recent polling data paints a different picture, revealing that only one in five voters believe the economy is in good or excellent shape. Nearly 80% of respondents expressed that they feel the economy is only fair or poor.
While President Biden has repeatedly insisted that the economy is looking up and experiencing positive growth, many Americans do not seem to share his optimism. The chief economist for Freedom Works, Steve Moore, argues that the first two years of the Biden administration were disastrous for the economy. Inflation rates soared, reaching as high as 9.2%, causing a significant strain on the middle class.
