The guy ran on fixing the Biden Economy…. . His IS WORSE……And we, and others, keep repeating THIS…. . “Public opinion about the economy appears to be souring further this month, per the preliminary release of the University of Michigan’s consumer sentiment index,”Axiosreports. “The steepest month-to-month drop in sentiment was among survey respondents who identify as Republicans, with their outlook now 19% below readings from just before the Iran war and at the lowest since the 2024 election. ”…“For most of his second term, President Donald Trump has been arguing that the ‘golden age’ he promised for America’s economy is already here. There’s hardly been much evidence that voters agreed,”Bloombergreports. “Now, with midterm elections less than three months away and campaigning poised to get underway in earnest, the gap has become impossible to ignore.

Crime, by contrast, has traditionally been an issue on which voters see Republicans as strong. ”…“U. S. retail sales fell in July by the most in more than a year as consumers pulled back on purchases of autos and at online stores,”Bloombergreports. Reader Interactions
