Summary

President Joe Bidenā€™s economic achievementsā€”lowering inflation, reducing gas prices, creating jobs, and boosting manufacturingā€”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, Bidenā€™s approval ratings remain low, attributed to inflation backlash, weak communication, and a media landscape prone to misinformation.

Democrats face a ā€œpropaganda problemā€ rather than a policy failure, with many voters likely to credit incoming President Trump for Bidenā€™s accomplishments due to partisan messaging and social media dynamics.

    He could have ran on it more. Trump understands the art of putting his name on the checks.

    Call Americans stupid, and we are, but I wish the party that was helping people was a bit more grandious and better about messaging then they are.

      Itā€™s also pretty hard to point to things and go ā€œsee? remember the thing we did 10 years ago? this is the effect it had!ā€

      Many of Bidenā€™s policies will come to fruition during the next term and Trump will falsely claim responsibility because he can point to it right away.
