Episode notes
Poll Results
- Democrats face declining poll numbers due to voter pessimism about the economy and Biden's leadership.
- Republicans hold advantages in key policy areas like the economy, inflation, and border security.
Unmet Expectations
- Biden's vague campaign promises, like "return to normal," have become high bars he's failed to meet.
- This, combined with inflation and a sense of ongoing division, contributes to his low approval.
Narrative Control
- Trump's ability to control narratives and actively engage in cultural debates might have insulated him from some of Biden's current challenges.
- Biden's absence from the national conversation leaves him vulnerable to economic headwinds.
