Trump is overperforming, but there’s a way back for Biden The president needs to persuade voters he’s tackling the cost of living crisis and standing up to big business

76% of the country say the country is headed in the wrong direction. Why is that the case?
Well, they are desperate about inflation and the cost of living. 64% choose it as their top problem. The longer this inflation extends, the angrier people get. The Biden presidency is defined by that inflation.

Check out the latest article by Thomas Edsall in the The New York Times, featuring Democracy Corps polling.
From the article:
In an email, summarized the results: “This is grim.”
“There is some evidence the Democracy Corps survey that concerns specific to Biden — including his age and the surge in prices during his presidency — are driving the perception of Democratic weakness rather than discontent with the party itself.”

Trump is beating Biden by five points in these states and has higher approval ratings than the President, even among voting groups that form the Democratic base, such as African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, and young voters. How can this be?
“Above all, they are desperate about inflation and the cost of living: 64 percent choose it as the top problem—about 30 points higher than any other. The Biden presidency is defined by that inflation and the longer it extends the angry people get.” - Stan Greenberg
