It\u2019s about time the middle class and working-class people got a shot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the middle- and working-class people Biden says he ran for seem to be unsatisfied with the president\u2019s job on the economy so far. As <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/disaster-joe-bidens-economic-ratings-are-worse-than-jimmy-carters-cnn-poll-finds\">reported<\/a> by The Daily Wire, a poll released Monday by CNN showed that Biden\u2019s economic approval rating is worse than President Jimmy Carter\u2019s rating close to the same time of his presidency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCarter\u2019s economic net approval rating of -8 points in an early January 1978 CBS News\/New York Times poll was the lowest around this point in a presidency before Biden\u2019s -13 points,\u201d CNN <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/12\/21\/politics\/joe-biden-jimmy-carter-economic-ratings\/index.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cThe economy, and particularly inflation, was listed as the nation\u2019s top problem in a late October 1977 Gallup poll.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>CNN explained that inflation appears to be the biggest issue for Biden with just 28% of Americans approving of how he\u2019s handling the issue. A December Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/voters-have-low-expectations-for-bidens-economic-management-pollster\">poll<\/a> found that inflation was a top concern for voters. The poll also showed that:<\/p>\n<p>Two-thirds think Biden\u2019s leadership is at least somewhat responsible for inflation \u2014 and about the same number blame regular economic cycles. Larger and roughly equivalent majorities blame the pandemic, government spending and regulations, and company price gouging.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Rising prices over the last six months have caused financial hardship for two-thirds of voters. That climbs to three-quarters among those living in lower-income households.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>By more than two-to-one, people say the president\u2019s economic policies have hurt rather than helped them personally. That\u2019s largely driven by almost two-thirds of Republicans saying they\u2019ve been hurt \u2014 nearly five times the number of Democrats who say the same. For comparison, one-third of Democrats said they had been hurt by former President Donald Trump\u2019s economic policies in a December 2018 Fox News survey.<\/p>\n<p>Just 1 in 6 voters say they are better off financially than they were a year ago, and a majority rates their personal financial situation negatively. That\u2019s a reversal since August, when over half said their finances were in positive shape.<\/p>\n<p>The president, however, seems to be ignoring the latest polls on the economy and his handling of it. He credited his infrastructure plan for starting \u201cto build an economy from the bottom up and middle out.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd we\u2019re making progress,\u201d he continued. \u201cWe got a way to go. We\u2019re making progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
