Eh, I wouldn't dismiss it. I listen to a weekly focus group podcast. These voters have said it many times over in the focus groups. In the podcast they play recordings of the voters. It really does provide great insight into how they think.
Thats not the point. These are voters regardless and The Bulwark isn’t MAGA. they’re #NeverTrump center right people.
Nah its legit. Its a focus group that features Dem voters, GOP voters and Independents. Give it a listen when you can. You will see for yourself because you're hearing real people.
Hey anytime I talk about a republican who is a legit threat to Biden’s election outlook people attack me for it
This is straight delusion status. Do you know any voters at all? I'm on a facebook group in one of the communities we work in, and all they talk about is how shytty the economy is. Doesn't matter whether it is true or not, it is DEFINITELY what voters think.
Swing-state voters trust Trump more on economy: survey
Voters in swing states said they trust former President Trump more than President Biden on matters of the economy, according to a new poll. The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, published on Thu…thehill.com
The Bloomberg News/Morning Consult poll, published on Thursday, showed 49 percent of likely voters in seven swing states trusted Trump over Biden — who earned 35 percent — on the economy.
Those numbers are even starker for Biden when zeroing in on the independent voters, who could be the determining factor in the 2024 presidential election. About 47 percent said they trusted Trump more, and 25 percent said they trusted Biden more.
The respondents — from Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin — selected the economy as the most important issue heading into the next presidential election. Eighty-three percent said the issue was “very important,” and 13 percent said it was “somewhat important.”
Biden is down double-digits to Trump on the economy, which voters consider by far the most important issue. Those are terrible numbers for him.

Hey anytime I talk about a republican who is a legit threat to Biden’s election outlook people attack me for it
Now you see what I’m talking about
People have a recency bias and aren’t able to actually assess factors outside of the initial context. I forget I’m arguing with functional idiots on here about many topics. Like people who take orders but rarely dictate policy or create decisions for others. They can’t imagine biden losing…why? because biden won.
Bidenomics is a flop. The approach they should have taken the entire time is having press conferences to acknowledge people's inflation pain, talk about inflation decreasing and actions they are taking to address it. It would have painted Biden in a better light among voters because the perception has been that Biden has been ignoring it. You'll get credit if voters feel you are addressing problems.I do think the narrative that “oh my god the economy is terrible” is catching on…and we all acknowledge that it’s actually doing fine, has outperformed pretty much all expectations and is doing better than the rest of the world post-covid…right wing media was all but outright cheerleading on a recession, and here we all with 5% growth last quarter and gas prices dropping
So we’re basically just in a spot where reality doesn’t matter, and the election will be lost because people are idiots and easily swayed by targeted social media messaging like Sexyy Red wishing Trump was in office because he gave us stimmy checks
People say “well Dems just suck at messaging”…but what even really be done if facts just flat out don’t matter…They tried boasting about the economy with the Bidenomics shyt but that just brings a bigger spotlight on what is already a huge weakness perception wise, damn what the data says….
You definitely don't talk at length about something you have minimal control over, in this case inflation. You just look like you're making promises that you can't keep.
This.
