Despite official data showing a strong economy with solid growth, a robust job market, and record-high stocks, many Americans perceive the economy negatively, as highlighted by a Guardian-Harris survey indicating that a majority believe the economy is contracting and in a recession. President Biden's approval rating reflects this sentiment, with many associating the poor economy with his performance. Inflation remains a significant concern, with Americans feeling the pinch of rising prices. Comparisons to pre-pandemic times and the end of COVID stimulus contribute to this negative outlook. The discrepancy between public perception and economic indicators poses a challenge for Biden as he seeks reelection, emphasizing the importance of effectively communicating the economy's performance to the American people.
