Biden's Policies Spark Economic Recovery, But Voters Still Credit Trump

The economy has recovered well under Biden, with low unemployment, slowing inflation, rising wages and a strong stock market. But voters still give Trump higher marks.

Biden inherited a pandemic recession but his policies like stimulus checks have helped spark growth. Trump rode an already strong Obama economy.

Inflation has fallen from peak levels but remains an issue. Wage growth is outpacing inflation which should provide relief.

Americans are spending strongly but savings are depleted and debt is climbing to concerning levels. This could become an issue.

Perception that the economy was better pre-pandemic under Trump persists. Biden must persuade voters otherwise before the 2024 election.
