Bump
Joe Biden is attacking Donald Trump too much while giving nothing bold to vote for. The Economy is also recovering. Maybe at a slow rate, but it's charging back to the point where any incumbent can win.
If Joe Biden is attacking Trump too much, it doesn't seem to be hurting his favorability ratings at all. In fact, I think Biden's ratings may have
improved over the past month.
And if you examine the polls, you will see that voters are largely self-selecting themselves into 'most important issue' camps that overwhelmingly align with which candidate they support. Trump is already winning the voters who say that the economy is the most important issue of the day to them by an insane margin in some polls (something like 90-10); same thing with 'crime and safety'. Meanwhile, Biden's supporters are mainly selecting 'COVID' and 'racial justice' as their top issues; again, the split is something like 90-10, this time in Biden's favor.
And, by the way, didn't Disney just announce yesterday that they are going to be laying off 28,000 workers? The thing with the economy is that it is just people's perception of it matters just as much as the actual indicators, such as unemployment, GDP, real wage growth, etc. You can point to a line graph that shows the average for the Dow or NASDAQ all you'd like, but that won't break the feeling of economic malaise that many are feeling in Michigan, Ohio, and Iowa.
