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.

    Youā€™re kinda missing the point of what Iā€™m trying to say.

    The total number of Trump voters barely moved. As a fraction of the total populace, it actually probably slightly decreased.

    The total number of Democratic voters decreased by like 12%.

    The DNC alienated their own base. People stayed home, and it made a difference.
