Biden Battles Inflation Woes and Voter Nostalgia for Trump Economy

Inflation has fueled nostalgia for the Trump economy, when prices rose less and earnings went further. Voters trust Trump more than Biden on the economy.

Inflation was 6.2% under Trump's first 3 years, vs 17.9% under Biden's. Costs like rent and groceries rose faster under Biden.

Real earnings rose more under Biden, but purchasing power is down due to higher inflation.

Biden blames corporations for inflation, but some think his policies set the stage. He must convince people inflation wasn't his fault.

If inflation stays low, voters may give Biden more credit. But currently, Trump's economic record seems more favorable to voters concerned about the economy.
