Biden campaign seeks pandemic era insights to boost economic polling.

The Economy Takes Center Stage in the ‌2024 Election Cycle

The economy remains the ⁤top concern for ⁤voters as we head into the ⁣2024 election cycle. President Joe Biden’s reelection‌ campaign‌ is gearing up to tackle his⁢ low⁣ polling numbers on this issue with ‌a new and strategic approach.

Since the beginning of his presidency,​ both‍ the ⁤White ⁤House and Biden’s campaign have made “Bidenomics” the centerpiece of their ⁤messaging​ campaign. This term encompasses the president’s economic priorities and⁣ policies. ⁣They ‌have been actively engaging with‌ industry⁣ stakeholders across the country and in Washington, D.C.,⁣ through speeches ‍and ‌events.

A Need for Improvement

Despite decreasing ⁣inflation, historically low unemployment rates, ‌and a surge ​in consumer sentiment ⁢post-pandemic, Biden’s ‍approval rating on the economy stands at just 38.3%. Campaign officials recognize the need to do more to sell Bidenomics.

“We absolutely know we need to do more ​to sell the president’s economic agenda and draw that direct through line to his investments and ⁣the economic improvement,” one campaign official admitted.⁢ “The​ good news ⁤is that there are a ton of ‍things to sell and⁢ talk about because we got so much ⁤done.”

Embracing Relational Organizing

The Biden campaign plans to focus on ‌”relational organizing” to promote the president’s economic ⁢agenda. They understand‍ that Americans are increasingly ‌seeking information and ​making decisions based on ⁣recommendations from friends, family, and people they trust.

“More than ever, and especially post-COVID,⁣ Americans are looking for⁤ information and making decisions based on what‌ their friends ‍and family and people they‍ know⁣ say,”‌ a campaign ⁣official explained. “They’re‍ looking ‌inwards, basically, and so really invoking⁤ and⁣ deploying trusted messengers early on is⁤ really important for us.”

The campaign aims to involve ⁢local community leaders, online influencers, ⁣and activist groups ⁣with resources​ and a loyal⁤ following. They ‍believe that engaging influencers with dedicated audiences⁢ will​ be crucial in reaching young ⁣voters.

Learning from Successful ​Strategies

The Biden campaign’s approach mirrors successful tactics used ⁤during the COVID-19 vaccination‍ push. ​By partnering with out-of-government sources, celebrities, ⁤and organizations ⁤with opposing views,‍ the administration effectively reached a wide range of‍ communities.

Julie Chavez Rodriguez, Biden’s‍ 2024‍ campaign manager,⁤ emphasized the importance of leveraging personal networks and ⁤using innovative strategies to connect with voters ‌where they are.

An Uphill Battle

Despite these efforts, Biden faces an uphill battle to improve ‍his ⁤economic polling numbers before the 2024​ election. Cliff Young, president of U.S. public affairs ⁣at Ipsos, acknowledges that while there‍ are glimmers of hope, the⁢ overall ⁣economic ⁤situation remains challenging.

“There’s low ‍unemployment, but ‌things are ‌still expensive.⁣ People are not seeing the‍ boom,” Young​ explained. “A poor economy hurts you more than a ⁤good economy helps you.”

Nevertheless, the Biden campaign is ⁢determined ⁢to overcome these challenges‍ and effectively communicate the president’s economic ⁢agenda ⁤to the American people.
