CNN’s Saenz on Inflation: ‘What Americans Are Feeling Is Completely Different’ from What Biden Is Trying to Sell

‘Really one of the challenges for President Biden will be trying to convince Americans that his economic policies are paying off for them’

EXCERPT:

SAENZ: "Now out on the road, President Biden has tried to point to -- to some of those positive indicators over the past few months -- the fact that unemployment is down, the fact that wages are rising, and that the overall inflation trend is also lowering. But even as he's trying to highlight those positive aspects of the economy what Americans are feeling is completely different. If you take a look at one of the most recent national polls from Marquette, it found that the majority of voters believe that the economy is either not so good or poor. And then when you stack up President Biden against former President Donald Trump, more believe that Trump is better on economic issues than President Biden. Now we've seen President Biden in his State of the Union address in the weeks that followed, really tried to hone in on their efforts to cut down costs for Americans, on things like prescription drug prices, housing, most recently on student loans, when he was out in Wisconsin this week, but really one of the challenges for President Biden will be trying to convince Americans that his economic policies are paying off for them at a time when there are still very sour views about the economy."
