Deep dives
Biden's struggle to gain support despite improving economic sentiment
Despite rising consumer sentiment and optimism about the American economy, Joe Biden has not seen a significant political upside from this. The improved economic numbers do not seem to translate into support for Biden. This may be due to people's perception of the pre-COVID Trump economy, which was viewed favorably. Biden's challenge is not necessarily to beat Trump on the economic issue, but to narrow the gap enough so that his other campaign issues can carry the day.
