I don't know how many times I've heard people casually say FJB inflation when complaining about prices. It may be a dog whistle, or gaslighting, but people do say it over and over enough that enough people think it's true.

Inflation being down, doesn't mean prices are down. I have a positive view about how his administration and the Fed have so far thread the needle of curbing inflation without tanking the economy. But that's too nuanced for too many voters.

The perception of the economy under Biden is his by far his biggest problem right now. He also was put in a no-win situation in current world events that he was bound to piss off half his supporters on whichever avenue he took.

That's all probably the best reason for him to step aside. He's carrying too much baggage from these events.
