Biden’s Approval Rating Hits All-Time Low in Recent Poll.

The Warning Democrats Should Heed: “It’s the Economy, ⁢Stupid”

The presidential election is more than a year away still, but Democrats and the⁤ team around President ‌Joe ‌Biden should be focused on a warning delivered by⁣ one of their ‍own more than three decades ago.

Democratic strategist James Caville made a mantra of the words “It’s the economy, stupid,” while masterminding⁣ Bill Clinton’s campaign for the presidency ⁤back in 1992.

The current president’s “Bidenomics” are⁤ proving to be nothing but a disaster for ordinary Americans — and ⁤a new CBS News poll proves‌ how devastating that’s turning ‍out.

CBS reported Sunday that its⁢ poll shows Biden with an overall approval rating of 40 percent — the lowest‌ of his⁢ presidency for CBS (though some polls have put him slightly lower⁢ at some ⁢points).‍ When it ⁢comes to the economy alone, Biden scored an even more dismal approval rating of 34 percent, ⁢matching the lowest point recorded⁣ in June​ of‍ last year.

For Americans with eyes, it’s not ‍hard to see ⁣why.

With inflation still keeping sticker shock a regular part of the trip to the ⁤grocery ‌store for most Americans, and gas prices still obscenely high, even Americans⁢ willing to overlook the serial, self-inflicted catastrophes of⁣ the Biden era are confronted with daily reminders that the⁣ wrong‍ man is in the ‌White House — and the wrong party is in power.

Rabid partisans, knee-jerk liberals and the establishment media might be able to ‍close their eyes to the ongoing, ever-more-serious revelations about corruption in the first family.

They might be able to explain ​away⁢ the invasion of illegal immigration overrunning ‍the southern border, the ⁢international disgrace of the Afghanistan withdrawal and kowtowing to China, the ostensibly Catholic president’s ⁣fervent support for taxpayer-funded abortions and his party’s insane pretenses about the supposedly changeable nature of innate sex.

But Americans who ⁢pay for their own meals understand that “Bidenomics” have been no gift to the country.

“It’s not just whether one ​has a job, but what your wages can buy you. Most of those working ⁢say ⁤their pay is⁢ not keeping pace with rising​ prices,” CBS noted. “And even if the rate of inflation is‍ slowing, those price hikes have clearly ​left their mark.

“Prices are the No. 1 reason people give when asked why they call ‌the economy bad⁣ and ⁤the top reason ‍given when they describe their personal financial situation as bad.”

Yeah, well, “prices” have a way of doing that — concentrating the mind on exactly how much is in the wallet or purse.

And Americans told the CBS survey they’re not happy with how things are going: Of 2,181 polled, according to CBS, 35 ⁢percent said ​they were falling financially behind, 52 percent said they were staying⁢ in place, while only 13 percent said they were “getting ahead.”

(It’s a good bet that 13 percent ⁤is in the “diversity, equity and inclusion” racket ⁣or some other lefty grift of the‌ moment.)

Sixty-five percent rated the economy as “bad,”​ versus only 29 percent who called it “good.” And‌ 70 percent ⁤said their work income wasn’t keeping up with inflation as opposed to 30 percent who said it was.

None of this bodes well for Biden or his re-election hopes.

At the same point in his presidency — ⁤before the‍ COVID-19 pandemic — former President Donald​ Trump was watching an economy that was‌ booming on his ⁤pro-growth ⁤policies.

In the summer of 2019, the inflation ‍rate was 2.3 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, unemployment was low (including among ​ blacks and Hispanics), and the stock‌ market‍ was rising.

Times were good and everyone knew it, even if the caterwauling Democrats ⁢in Washington and their propaganda ⁤outlets in the mainstream media pretended otherwise.

By contrast, in June of this year, ​ CNN reported, the U.S. inflation rate​ was 3 percent, which might not sound like much‍ higher than 2019’s 2.3⁣ percent, but it came after numbers like⁢ the⁣ 9 percent inflation of June 2022.

In other words, prices are rising on⁣ prices that were already risen in the first place.

Americans might not be⁣ great in math as a rule, ‍but they can ‌run numbers when it matters. And when it comes to the amount of ⁤food a‌ family can buy, putting gas in a car and‌ paying bills, ⁤it matters a great deal.

What should ‍really alarm Biden and his Democratic handlers is the fact that he’s ‍scoring 40 percent (and even that’s probably too high) ⁤when⁣ he has the combined power of the hideously‌ biased ⁢mainstream⁣ media cheering him ‍on, ignoring negative stories or putting the best possible spin on‍ them.

That means Americans are seeing‌ through the propaganda — and it should‌ be a wake-up call to the Biden White House and the Democrats who’ve ⁢pinned their hopes on its success next year.

No matter who the Republican nominee is — whether it’s current front-runner Trump or one of his competitors — Americans are going to have a clear comparison to make ‍when they​ go to the polls in 2024.

When it comes to the phrase, “it’s the economy,⁣ stupid,” they’ll have​ to ask if the country an afford ⁣another four years of a corrupted, ideologically insane administration. The answer⁢ is, literally, no.

The country can’t afford it. And neither, quite literally, can its voters.
