W.H.’s Bernstein Insists ‘Bidenomics’ Is Working, But Pollsters Are Asking Wrong Questions

KERNEN We had a ░░░░░░░░ of former senators on ░░░░░░░░ Gregg and Heidi Heitkamp ░░░░░░░░ I mentioned some of ░░░░░░░░ just some of the ░░░░░░░░ that are out in ░░░░░░░░ morning papers Jared and ░░░░░░░░ guess you know I ░░░░░░░░ t want you to ░░░░░░░░ shoot the messenger I ░░░░░░░░ the Journal and the ░░░░░░░░ York Post are both ░░░░░░░░ Murdoch owned entities That ░░░░░░░░ probably the excuse that ░░░░░░░░ always hear But here ░░░░░░░░ the cover of The ░░░░░░░░ Post Lie Bor Day ░░░░░░░░ it kist talks about ░░░░░░░░ the president constantly talks ░░░░░░░░ cutting the deficit when ░░░░░░░░ fact it s going ░░░░░░░░ be 2 trillion double ░░░░░░░░ year And the cuts ░░░░░░░░ he did make are ░░░░░░░░ on cutting from the ░░░░░░░░ level So it s ░░░░░░░░ of disingenuous All of ░░░░░░░░ taken together it leaves ░░░░░░░░ very sour taste in ░░░░░░░░ people s mouths Jared ░░░░░░░░ we talk about it ░░░░░░░░ the time you say ░░░░░░░░ if you ask them ░░░░░░░░ about certain things they ░░░░░░░░ more optimistic but only ░░░░░░░░ third consistently of Americans ░░░░░░░░ buy into your contention ░░░░░░░░ Bidenomics is working So ░░░░░░░░ ve got to come ░░░░░░░░ maybe you need to ░░░░░░░░ on every day because ░░░░░░░░ s not working your ░░░░░░░░ BERNSTEIN Well I certainly ░░░░░░░░ t have the luxury ░░░░░░░░ doing that But let ░░░░░░░░ talk a little bit ░░░░░░░░ Bidenomics and people s ░░░░░░░░ about it I think ░░░░░░░░ polls that you re ░░░░░░░░ are oftentimes very much ░░░░░░░░ 000 or 40 000 ░░░░░░░░ up I m not ░░░░░░░░ them by the way ░░░░░░░░ know they re real ░░░░░░░░ I want to tell ░░░░░░░░ a little bit about ░░░░░░░░ poll results that ask ░░░░░░░░ the specific components of ░░░░░░░░ okay 82 support capping ░░░░░░░░ costs for seniors at ░░░░░░░░ a month 81 support ░░░░░░░░ Medicare the power to ░░░░░░░░ for lower prescription drugs ░░░░░░░░ by the way is ░░░░░░░░ very much in the ░░░░░░░░ and it s helping ░░░░░░░░ reduce the deficit The ░░░░░░░░ point you just raised ░░░░░░░░ cuts the deficit by ░░░░░░░░ billion over 10 years ░░░░░░░░ support creating tax incentives ░░░░░░░░ create more manufacturing jobs ░░░░░░░░ 000 manufacturing jobs since ░░░░░░░░ president has got here ░░░░░░░░ some really great investment ░░░░░░░░ with investment coming off ░░░░░░░░ sidelines 77 support capping ░░░░░░░░ of pocket costs on ░░░░░░░░ drugs That s also ░░░░░░░░ into play Now look ░░░░░░░░ point is that you ░░░░░░░░ barely get Americans 80 ░░░░░░░░ Americans to agree on ░░░░░░░░ And here they are ░░░░░░░░ after line agreeing about ░░░░░░░░ importance of the components ░░░░░░░░ Bidenomics So I think ░░░░░░░░ s an inaccurate narrative ░░░░░░░░ declare that somehow Bidenomics ░░░░░░░░ t working or that ░░░░░░░░ s not favorably received ░░░░░░░░ people when you drill ░░░░░░░░ into what it actually ░░░░░░░░
