Notice the word "OPINION"Republicans have never been more disconnected from the performance of an economy. The robust economic environment has defied it’s naysayers with its resiliency and is delivering a record year. You wouldn’t know it to talk to a republican though. The data shows republicans opinions of the economy have little if anything to do with its actual performance.
A good summary of the republican perception disconnect from reality.
Opinion | Republicans’ views of the economy are detached from reality
Consumer spending is strong, and Americans are starting new businesses at the highest rates since the Census Bureau began tracking this data in 2006. Yet when pollsters ask people how they think the economy is doing, they don’t just express concern. They say the economy is terrible.
The polling data doesn’t show that Americans think the economy stinks so much as it shows that Republicans say it stinks.
Some partisanship has always existed in polling about the economy: When there’s a Democrat in the White House, Democrats are more likely to say the economy is good than Republicans, and both sides change their opinions when the White House changes hands. But this difference has grown in recent years — and grown unequally. A pair of economists who examined decades of polling data concluded, “While both Republicans and Democrats view the economy more favorably when their party controls the White House, the magnitude of this partisan bias is roughly two and a half times larger for Republicans than for Democrats.”
We can see how that is playing out right now. In the latest edition of the University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Sentiment, the average Democratic score is over twice as high as the Republican score. But what is most striking is just how awful Republicans say the economy is. Their index score for this month is significantly lower than the score they gave the economy in the depths of the Great Recession in 2008 and 2009, when the economy was bleeding hundreds of thousands of jobs every month.
Americans are feeling pretty miserable about the economy these days. A Suffolk University Sawyer Business School/USA TODAY poll of 1,000 Americans from September 6 to 11 found that 70% of respondents said the economy was getting worse, even as inflation continued to come down and job openings increased.
On top of that, it's a rare issue of bipartisan — and generational — agreement: in that same poll, 96% of surveyed Republicans said the economy is getting worse, along with 76% of independents and 34% of Democrats. And in an August USA Today survey conducted by The Harris Poll of 2,000 US adults, 65% of Gen Zers and 74% of millennials believe they are starting further behind financially than other generations.

It’s all they have beyond Biden’s age.Republicans have never been more disconnected from the performance of an economy.

And in this case, it's a stupid economy.
Nope gator really believes that.You're fuckin kidding right?
That’s not a key indicator of anything other than some dude’s experience at the store.gator....people go to the store and pay their bills,then they decide if the economy is good....not you and joe biden....and apparently there are many that dont agree with you and biden........
That cost double, and had to be put on a credit card.And yet here you are posting with a new android phone.
Nope gator really believes that.
That's bullshit. The key indicator is all the people at all the stores...That’s not a key indicator of anything other than some dude’s experience at the store.
That's bullshit. The key indicator is all the people at all the stores...
Which is of course part of consumer spending which is strong.That's bullshit. The key indicator is all the people at all the stores...
We still need to consume, but people have to buy on credit or limit their consumption now because of runaway prices. You can't convince a mother of 3 that her paycheck is stretching farther now than it was when Trump was in office. Under that economic plan people even had savings accounts. Unless your name is Zelensky, you're getting the Bidenomic shaft...Which is of course part of consumer spending which is strong.
only people dumb enough to send all their money to a billionaire con man think the economy sucks.It's why Biden is under water
It's the economy, stupid
Your feels mean jack shit. The economy metrics are strong. The article points out the disconnect you are displaying. The fact you are also crass is a tell tell sign of magatism.And it's full of lies; though perhaps it is redundant for me to say that about a PMSNBC opinion piece.
Anyone who is working at an honest job, trying to make a living, and finding it increasingly difficult to fit his budget into his income, knows very well that every claim made in that piece is false.
As alluded to in the Orwell quote in my previous post, the modernleftwrong is very big, these days, on demanding that we accept as truth, claims which we can clearly tell by direct experience and knowledge to be outrageously false. Whether it is demanding that we believe that a man can be a woman, that it is acceptable to brainwash children into fucked-up sexual perversions, or that the economy is doing great even though everyone is experiencing greatly-reduced buying power; modern LIbEralism is built on a foundation of lies and bullshit.
And by the way…

Dipshit. Real wages are up to pre-Covid. They are only down to stimulus enhanced income levels. You’re not debating with one of your maga idiots. You need way more than stupid sound bites to be in an adult discussion.New Census data shows why Americans hate the economy despite economists telling us to feel good about it
Americans' incomes fell for the third year in a row.fortune.com
"Americans’ real incomes fell by 2.3% in 2022 compared to 2021, thanks to record-high inflation. The Census Bureau calculates real income based on factors like wages from work, Social Security benefits, retirement income, public assistance, unemployment insurance benefits, etc.
That’s the largest decline in inflation-adjusted household income in over a decade. It’s been a rough few years in general for the American worker: Last year’s decline comes after real income stayed relatively flat in 2021 and declined in 2020. Before then, real income had been on the rise since 2012."
Soooo awesome.

Credit is a lower burden than almost ever.We still need to consume, but people have to buy on credit or limit their consumption now because of runaway prices. You can't convince a mother of 3 that her paycheck is stretching farther now than it was when Trump was in office. Under that economic plan people even had savings accounts.

Idiots blame Carter/Biden. N fact Carter would have won if not for the October surprise the cia did for Reagan. Back when the cia and fbi worked for you guys. Spied on mlk not djt
Hey dumb dumb, Census says otherwise.Dipshit. Real wages are up to pre-Covid. They are only down to stimulus enhanced income levels. You’re not debating with one of your maga idiots. You need way more than stupid sound bites to be in an adult discussion.
