New Poll on Economy is Bad News for the White House

The Biden administration has done an absolutely abysmal job on so many areas of public policy. However, the economy truly takes the cake in this regard.

From higher prices at the gas pump, more expensive groceries, a bottlenecked supply chain, and much more, the economy is in shambles. Yet, earlier this week, Biden told Americans in Virginia that the country’s on a great track.

The White House may believe this; however, the American public has a wholly different perception. That’s made apparent in a brand new poll by Gallup.

What Americans really think about the current economy

The numbers are not good. Gallup discovered 68% of Americans think the economy is regressing into a worse state. It’s worth noting that earlier this month, 63% of Americans said this. What this poll clearly indicates is the number of people losing faith in the trajectory of the economy is rising.

As it turns out, Independent voters in the United States are the ones driving this new shift in the poll. Right now, 72% of Independents believe the economy is not getting better. This marks a nine point rise from the 63% of Independents who stated the economy was worsening earlier in October.

More news on the economy

This Gallup poll is not an outlier and it shouldn’t come as a shock, either. Polls have consistently shown Americans are worried about Biden’s performance on the economy.
