As he runs for re-election, President Biden is talking about one specific issue a lot: the economy. He emphasizes the nation’s low unemployment and slowing inflation, and even rolled out a catchy nickname for the good numbers: Bidenomics.
The problem for Biden is that few Americans seem to agree that the economy is strong. They think the opposite.
This week, we explore the gap between the good economy, as described by the president, and the not-so-great economy, as felt by so many Americans. And we do it in Dayton, Ohio, where activists are working to get increasing the minimum wage on the ballot in November. It’s a view of Biden’s economy from the bottom up.

How about letting in millions of poor people that will take american jobs and we have to pay for with our taxes ?
Partisan tribalism. That's literally the whole explanation. No 40 minute breakdown required. Any other attempt to rationalise the reality denial of the voters is pretentious gibberish.
The economy is BAD …please no spinning this one …who do u think you fooling…you are annoying us !!!! Uggghh
God is real, Democrats stole the election, The economy has never been worse
Listening to some of these folks makes me question democracy lol …totally clueless
And excellent work, as always, with on the ground interviews Mr. Herndon
We the working people know what Bidenomics really amounts to. It isn't pretty. And raise the minimum wage? Everybody else raises prices. Try to buy a home working at Walmart. That's where Biden puts most women.
A dummy interviewing people who listen to proaganda. Yes I meant to insult the interviewer because assuming he is not misinformed ..
Just think about his motivation.
Nothing is Built
Nothing is Back
Nothing is Better
Who do you believe? Mainstream economic analyst's chipper take on the state of American economy or the demoralized sentiment of real people? Insisting that the economy is awesome while most Americans have been devastated by the dramatic debasement of their purchasing power and downward mobility is just gaslighting, and not likely a winning strategy for the Democrats.
there is only one party defunding public education and it is obviously effective in helping them create an uninformed electorate
Joe is the very cause of inflation.
I find it hard to listen to the convoluted rationale voters use to answer the questions about the state of the US economy. Who are these people? Where do they come from? I agree that the prices at the grocery store are higher than I'd like … but every other metric of the economy (the stock market, my pay, low unemployment, etc … ) is positive and should be celebrated.
bidenomics sucks. Large inefficient bureaucracy that only increases the size of useless government workers who can’t be fired
Unbelievable. People remember the pandemic but they don't remember Trump denying it and causing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people- they also don't remember how Trump destroyed the economy and how Biden has finally been able to bring back a normal economy and has helped the country in so many ways- infrastructure, climate change, student loans, international !
The average American doesn't play the stock market. The job report is inflated by part time low paying jobs Joe biden is the worst president of my lifetime.
5.30 for Gasoline where I live because of Russia Sanctions.
Look at Fast Food Chart Prices literally Doubled
My car insurance went from 340 every 6 months for 650
Democrats and Biden can stop these insurance companies but they are being paid to give 1 million for a 30 minute speech. Democrats are for the rich and hate poor people. White Hispanic and Blacks know this now.
By every available metric, Resident Biden has been the worst president in a century.
Because what metrics think make for a good economy is divorced from how people experience the economy. If it is good, we surely aren't seeing the benefita.
The press reports Trump being persecuted, but it doesn't report the price gouging of corporations. Why not highlight how much Republicans accept in donations from corporations? The problem isn't Biden. It's the press.
Were you economically better off under Trump or Biden? That is the question the Democrats don't want you to answer – or even ask.
I'm confused by the title. I think Biden IS getting credit for the economy. Have you seen the size of the Trump rallies?
Bidenomics?
More like FUnomics
Is the economy better under Biden ? No
Is the border more secure? No
Are we safer ? No
Is the world safer? No
Is there more racism from the left ? Yes
Is there more government spending ? Yes
Why hasn’t this idiot resigned ?
