The economy is a big deal for Americans when they vote. People have been giving President Joe Biden low scores for how he’s handling things. Inflation is hitting hard, making everything more expensive. Biden doesn’t seem to get it, though. He says the polls are wrong, and folks just don’t understand. But that’s not winning him any points.
Former President Donald Trump might have a good card to play. The Wall Street Journal has graphs showing household net worth under Trump and Biden. When adjusted for inflation, Trump’s numbers are a lot better. Under Biden, things are almost flat. That means people aren’t seeing their money grow like before.

It’s pretty clear why folks are feeling the pinch. Biden may try to talk his way out of it, but the numbers don’t lie. This is why more people are supporting Trump again. They remember doing better financially with him. Now, they’re struggling with less money to go around.
Biden should pay attention to this if he wants to keep voters. States that used to be sure wins are now up for grabs. It’s all because folks know they were better off before. If he keeps ignoring the truth, he could lose even more support.
