Just 38% of participants in a May poll from Gallup said they had a \u201cgreat deal\u201d or fair amount of confidence in Biden\u2019s economic policies, with 46% saying the same of former President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Donald Trump<\/a>, Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/2024-elections\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>2024<\/a> Republican opponent.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, a poll conducted by Harris Research found nearly 3-in-5 people believing the country is in a recession despite slow but sure economic growth over the past three-plus years.<\/p>\n<p>Biden, the White House, and his 2024 campaign have long shaken off his negative economic polling by saying that public perception will improve as more of his spending packages are implemented and people feel their benefits firsthand.<\/p>\n<p>And despite his negative economic polling, Biden has put the economy and inflation at the forefront of his reelection bid, frequently touting how his landmark infrastructure and science investments are building the economy from the \u201cbottom up and the middle out,\u201d even in the face of warnings about doing so from some of his top campaign advisers.<\/p>\n<p>Still, multiple Democratic strategists familiar with Biden\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-bets-on-first-in-the-nation-south-carolina-to-sell-his-doubters-on-a-second-term\/\" title=\"Biden relies on South Carolina to convince skeptics for a second term\">campaign strategy told<\/a> the <em>Washington Examiner<\/em> that, with just over five months until November, voters\u2019 economic perceptions of both the president and Trump are unlikely to change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Biden is responsible for some of the most meaningful public investments in U.S. history and continues to work tirelessly toward righting the economic wrongs that have kept down hard-working Americans for decades,\u201d one strategist claimed. \u201cHe and Vice President Harris have spent months crisscrossing the country, explaining the benefits of their economic agenda, and comparing it with the same old trickle-down policies Trump and Republicans have been clinging to for the past forty years.

Just like in 2020, voters have a choice between President Joe Biden, a decent man doing his best to help all Americans, and someone who cares only about himself,\u201d that person concluded matter of factly. \u201cOn the one hand, stability and hope for a better future \u2014 on the other, total chaos.
