The White House is having trouble selling its strong economy narrative…
According to a recent CBS News/YouGov poll, more voters have a positive view of the economy under former President Donald Trump than the current state of the economy under President Joe Biden.
The poll also shows Trump overtaking Biden in a presidential rematch.
From CBS News:
Voters recall the economy under Trump more fondly than they rate the economy now.
While neither gets great marks, voters today look back on Trump’s presidency with relatively better retrospective ratings than they’d rate Joe Biden’s presidency so far.
This is the case, despite the fact that views of today’s economy keep inching up.
That’s not helping Mr. Biden yet, at least not compared to Trump.
This is partly because Mr. Biden’s policies are expected to cause price increases and Republicans overwhelmingly say they expect lower prices if Trump is elected.
When asked “How was the economy under Trump?” 65% say it was “Good” while only 38% say the economy under Joe Biden is “Good.”
Trump has pulled ahead of Biden nationally, according to CBS News/YouGov: Trump: 52% to Biden’s 48%. Watch the clip below:
