In the latest poll released by the Financial Times and the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, it’s become clear that President Joe Biden’s economic plans are tanking faster than a squirrel in a kiddie pool. The survey shows that a whopping 70% of voters think Biden’s economic agenda has been about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. With 33% of voters saying Bidenomics has hurt the economy a lot, it’s no wonder his reelection bid is in the toilet.
Folks from all political parties are as concerned as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs about rising prices and inflation, and who can blame them? With 82% of respondents saying that price hikes are causing them financial stress, it’s clear that Biden’s policies are about as popular as a skunk at a perfume convention. And did someone say inflation? Since Biden took over, it’s been rising faster than a helium balloon in a tornado, reaching a 40-year high in June 2022. No wonder folks are tightening their belts tighter than a bull rider at a rodeo.
According to the survey, 65% of voters have cut back on nonessential spending, and 52% have lowered their spending on essential items like food. That’s right, Biden’s policies have caused Americans to tighten their purse strings more than a knot on a Boy Scout’s bandana. And as for the President’s attempts to sell his economic record, it’s as convincing as a fish riding a bicycle. His propaganda tour touting a “strong job market” and “cooling inflation” has been about as appealing as a catfish in a kitchen.
With only a measly 36% of voters approving of Biden’s handling of the economy, and a staggering 61% giving him a solid thumbs down, it’s clear that Bidenomics is about as popular as a porcupine in a balloon factory. The poll was directed by Democratic strategists Global Strategy Group and Republican polling firm North Star Opinion Research, which means that folks from all walks of life can agree on one thing: Biden’s economic policies are about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine.
