Confidence in a president running for reelection to fix the economy is the lowest under Biden since Gallup first tracked the metric, according to the pollster.
“With Americans less optimistic about the state of the U.S. economy than they have been in recent months and concern about inflation persisting, their confidence in President Joe Biden to recommend or do the right thing for the economy is among the lowest Gallup has measured for any president since 2001,” the pollster said Monday morning.
And it’s not just Biden. Confidence in Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is also the worst recorded, and it’s no better for congressional leaders. And while more people have greater faith that former President Donald Trump would be a better economic steward, he is also underwater.
Highlights:
Forty-six percent of U.S. adults say they have ‘a great deal’ or ‘a fair amount’ of confidence in Trump to do or recommend the right thing for the economy, while fewer say the same of Biden (38%), Powell (39%), and Democratic (38%) and Republican (36%) leaders in Congress,” Gallup said.
41% of Americans say Inflation and the increasing costs of living is the most important issue they're facing.
Whatever happened to "Bidenomics"? Looks like that has been dropped like the smelly fecal matter it always was.
