Suddenly, Republicans Don't Think The Economy Is That Bad After All

[skews13]

There’s a pretty simple way to explain most of what happened in the 2024 presidential election.

Joe Biden was elected in 2020 as voters rejected the incumbent president, Donald Trump. But thanks in large part to price surges that followed the coronavirus pandemic, Biden’s approval rating plunged. He was so poorly positioned for reelection that he abandoned his bid, with his vice president, Kamala Harris, earning the nomination instead. It wasn’t enough, and the electorate swung from the left back to the right, in Trump’s direction. He won the narrowest popular-vote victory in the past two decades.

The pattern among Republicans, though, was much sharper. During the Trump administration, Republicans were much more likely to say their economic positions had improved — and under Biden, far more likely to say it had worsened. Since 2022, more than half of Republicans have said their economic situations have declined over the past year.

But suddenly, over the last month, that’s shifted. You can see it at the very far right of the graph above, that downward shift in “worse off financially” and the upward shift in “about the same.” Among Democrats, views of how they fare now relative to a year ago haven’t changed much in the past month. Among Republicans, though, there’s been a 16-point drop in the percentage saying that they were doing worse a year ago.

Is that because something happened in early November 2023 that changed the economic status of Republicans? Ha ha, no. It is unquestionably because, in early November 2024, Donald Trump won the election.

Who but a fool is interested in what Politicians think about financial markets ?
They all stink presently and the only real question is about what the Fed can do to delay the inevitable major set back which is just around the proverbial corner.

The Commodity Markets and Crypto are already benefitting because smart money has moved away from bonds and equities and slipped into Commodities and Crypto, or , is cash under the bed .
It's that simple .
Your running commentary on political party influences is Horse Shit .

Trends and Cycles are unmoved . Politicians
at best move markets very short term .

I think it's cute Democracks want to believe they lost because of inflation, when for the most part, they lost because they've lost all credibility.

Um, the DJIA has risen 2400 points since November 4, and this economic boom is due solely to the great Donald Trump. America is super optimistic about the future now.

If the economy was any good at all even a little Harris would have won... all these people who never have to look at their grocery bill say the economy is fine... well it may be fine for them but not for 90% of the nation....

Don’t even start talking about the stock market. It has been hitting all time highs since Biden took over. You don’t get to ignore that and then boast about it once your guy is power. Thats weak
