The perception of the economy right now is pretty terrible. The perception of the economy under Trump before COVID was pretty good.
Perception matters far more than reality, and there are a lot of real life problems with the current economy for a lot of people, and that's a big problem for Biden.
I'm of the opinion that the Biden administration and Federal Reserve have done a remarkable job of curbing inflation without sending the country into a recession, and whoever Trump had running the show would have been a disaster. Unfortunately most people don't see it that way at all.
