    HYPERLINK has full article

    snip

    In the latest CNN/SSRS poll, Biden comes in with a 44% approval rating to 55% disapproval rating among registered voters on his economic performance. This makes for a -9 point net approval rating. The average of all polls taken in December is quite similar with Biden at -13 points on the economy.
    To put that in perspective, the average president at this point in the last 44 years (since we have been polling on the topic) had a net economic approval rating of +5 points. That means Biden's is 18 points worse than the average.


    end snip


    I was surprised to see an article on CNN that even touches on the train wreck of this administration. Anyway, what I would like to know is who are the 44% who think Biden is doing great with the economy? Do they not shop, buy gasoline, heat their homes etc etc

    Or, are they the loyal Democrat voters who think all-things-Democrat is awesome, even when Rome is burning?

    Biden is only in his first year and Trump passed him a failing economy and a pandemic

    Yup Biden sucks - so it must really gall Trump supporters that Biden's economic numbers for his first year are better than Trump's last year.

    if you mean that everything costs more is good, then sure.

    I love how the only retort is comparing a shut down economy vs an open economy with Biden

    Your vote helped create this train wreck; own it

    Notice how they are basing this entirely on opinion polling and not actual economic numbers.

    inflation is a train wreck and Democrat voters helped create that wreck

    people are hurting and you can toss out any numbers from the DNC that you want. When you pay 25-35% more at the grocery store, 50% more at the gas station, to heat your home etc etc, the Democrat talking points won't help your Democrat party

    Heck, even the Dollar Store increased prices by 25%

    Those are real numbers that affect real people

    and what are Democrats talking about now? To shut down offshore drilling, as if they haven't done enough to hurt us.


    Democrat votes have consequences; always evil

    Nope - Carter's GDP numbers were better than Trump's - even before Covid. Trump's reaction to Covid started that wreck. Trump allowed the Chinese
    to attack the US with a biological weapon. Hell, even Biden's GDP numbers
    have been better than Trump's.

    Nah! CHINAH! passed us a Pandemic and Democrats including Biden called President Trump Xenophobic for stopping travel to the United States from China. Had Democrats been in the White House at the beginning of 2020, they wouldn't have stopped travel from China until Millions of Americans had died and our Economy had completely collapsed.

    And what makes you think Carter's economy wasn't due to reagan, or Biden's due to Trump, or instead larger geopolitical phenomenon, as its not like economic policies have an instantaneous effect even when they are impactful. Nor do presidents fully determine economic policies. Manchin does that :p. Big coal still in control.

    Regular people don't know **** about how the economy works anyway. Ask the 8 ball next time.

    Trumps not President anymore and Biden promised to shut down the Virus if elected, WELL! were on the cusp of the worst surge yet, but Liberals still can't stop blaming Donald Trump when things are going sour for the Biden and the Democrats.

    And also don't forget Biden promised that he would cure cancer if he was elected.

    And out of one of his voters batted an eye at such an outlandish and obviously false promise

    Trumps economy tanked due to the China virus. It rebounded naturally due to the Trump vaccine. It's superstitious to accredit Biden simply because he happened to shuffle into office in the median.

    how about if you walk up to folks at the grocery store or gas pump, wearing your "I vote Democrat" shirt, and proclaim that paying more for everything is a small price to pay for having full Democrat control

    see how that works out for you

    It's a pandemic. And the US is doing better now under Biden, then Trump managed when the pandemic hit.

    There is no Trump vaccine, since his government didn't make it. No government did. Companies made it.
    And Biden distributed it to all who wanted it.

    Trump went all crazy for that hydroxychloroquine / anti-malaria drug, that doesn't work. Remember?

    I started a thread asking what it was that Biden approvers actually approved of that Biden was doing. Most on the left couldn't even answer the question. The best answers came from those on the right who basically said that these people only approved of Biden's performance in the areas of Biden is a Democrat and he isn't Trump. The left mostly avoided the question altogether.

    The economy did not fail.

    It was shut down. There's a difference.

    You ignore the fact that Hiden's failure/refusal to close the borders has resulted in expanding the pandemic with the Delta and Omicron variants.

    So did Republicans.

    The train wreck was caused by Republican and Democrat governors needlessly shutting down their economies because they were too stupid to know how to use a spreadsheet and any form of communication, like phones, faxes, emails, texts and tweets.

    due to the Trump shutdown and reopen guidelines

    btw, no state has reached Trump's reopening guidelines yet

    I think Trump saying to ban overseas trade and cargo, and other travel bans due to the pandemic may have caused the whole world to over-react

    trump walked it back later

    "Trump clarifies comments on Europe travel after initially saying restrictions applied to cargo, not just people"

    https://www.usatoday.com/story/news...emark-says-ban-doesnt-apply-cargo/5028734002/

    "“And these prohibitions will not only apply to the tremendous amount of trade and cargo but various other things as we get approval,” Trump said. “Anything coming from Europe to the United States is what we are discussing.”"

    imagine the fear that caused around the world

    btw, Biden's travel ban was no better, neither helped do anything but spread more fear around the globe

    Stupid Xoe and America as well as the world as a whole need to give the beloved Trumpsta huge kudos for
    His actions and handling of the China death pandemic. As we listen to Fauchi, the WHO and other experts this
    Is absolutely the worst thing to have hit mankind. Thank God, thank Trump
    , thank America for electing Trump so he would be in place at the time of this horrible pandemic. His actions have saved the world. The Trump vaccines rushed into use to save mankind have worked marvelously.
    Just think all you righty’s and all you lefty’s and even us centrists should thank Da Trumpsta every time we get another shot of the life saving juice. Come to think of it, I don’t remember hearing Xoe, the stupid one ever thank Da Trumpsta for providing the Trump juice. He and Kommie even said they won’t take the Trump juice.
    But take the lifesaving miracle juice that Trump had run thru to save mankind he did. Now if stupid Xoe could just get off his ass and stop this thing, and cure cancer like he promised.

    What ? come on.. this is nonsense... what economic numbers are better ? and how the frick does one attach meaning/relevence to those numbers given covid ?

    Yes .. I realize that the Right was ridiculously guilty of this nonsence during Obama .... but that don't mean others have to jump off the same bridge .. as like how only an economic moron attributes broad economic numbers in the first year of a President to something that President has done - this is not much different. This is doubly true in the case of some major external event .. such as the 2008 Bush Crash .. and the subsequent 1.4 Trillion dollar deficit handed to Obama .. the moron's trying to attribute this to Obama..

    This is no different .. and the economic moron's claiming bad economic outcome (sans oil) on the basis of Biden's performance thus far .. same thing ..
