New polling shows President Joe Biden’s greatest weakness on Election Day could be former President Donald Trump’s path to victory as voters are frustrated with the high cost of living.
A Swing State Project poll found 60% of voters disapprove of Biden’s economy and 73% of all voters rank the cost of living and inflation as one of their top three issues, contradicting the president’s touted ability to “build our economy from the middle out and the bottom up.”
The Swing State Project, a coalition of the nonpartisan Cook Political Report, Democratic polling firm BSG, and Republican polling firm GS Strategy Group, shows Trump leading Biden overall by 47% to 44% across seven swing states. The poll found a majority of voters are measuring the economy’s health by different factors than the Biden administration.
According to the polling data, voters are more concerned over the rising cost of living and persistent inflation than the federal unemployment and stock market numbers commonly touted by Biden.
Fifty-four percent of people surveyed believed the cost of living was the best way to measure the strength of the economy, and 51% of voters believed inflation was the “worst” or “weakest” part of the economy.

In comparison, when asked what they thought the best markers of a strong economy were, only 6% of voters picked the stock market, 13% picked low unemployment, and 9% chose household income.
The pool surveyed 3,969 voters in seven battleground states from May 6 to May 13. Wisconsin, North Carolina, Nevada, Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Pennsylvania were the states polled.
