But, how many of them will get out and vote for Biden, despite it being bad for their wallets?
Bidenomics in Crisis: Younger Americans Think The Biden Economy Stinks
President Biden spent a good portion of last year trying to sell the American public on the idea that his policies were a boon for the economy, repeatedly using the phrase “Bidenomics.”
Younger Americans likely to vote in this year’s presidential election are not buying it.
A new poll by The New York Times and Siena College found that likely voters between the ages of 18 and 29 overwhelmingly have a negative opinion of economic conditions today.
Even more strikingly, virtually none rate the economy as excellent.
Eighty-seven percent of likely voters between 18 and 29 rate economic conditions as poor or only fair, making this the worst demographic for Biden when it comes to the economy. That’s particularly troubling for Joe Biden because Democratic candidates for president typically need an outsized share of the young vote to win.
Young Democrats are getting a good look at what their votes do to their own lives. They can yammer and bleat about LGBTQblahblahblah, guns being Bad, ‘climate change’, and other idiocy, but, Biden’s policies directly affect their lives. Do they have money? Do they have savings? Can they afford a home or apartment? What’s the cost of getting a vehicle? Can they put good food on the table?
Just thirteen percent say they rate the economy as “good.”
The percent who say they rate the economy as “excellent?” Zero.
Will they vote in droves for Biden, or stay home? How many might switch to Trump, or go for someone like Kennedy? Time will tell.
Today’s ‘youts’ most heavily want to live in the larger cities, where home prices and rents are out of range for the majority of them, and even if they think they could just barely buy a house, interest rates are more than twice what they were a few years ago. The things they have to buy almost every day, groceries and restaurant food, have been inflating at high rates.
They look at their grandparents, who were able to buy a home in their early twenties, without looking at the social differences at the time. Men mostly went straight from high school into the workforce, and were able to find decent, working-class jobs, while men and women together did something shocking: they got married, and had kids. Two-parent households, with a decent division of labor, and far less silliness on which to waste money.
Yet, in the same poll, 18-29 year olds were asked:
If the 2024 presidential election were held today, who would you vote for if the candidates were:
Joe Biden – 53%
Don Trump – 41%
In the survey, 49% self-identified as Republicans, 43% as Democrats
If we taught economics properly or had a functioning media that lives up to their motto, it would be at least 85-15.
But people have been taught that “stimulus spending” is real, that Putin caused a “price hike,” and that the NYT is the slightest bit reliable or honest.
BTW, that poll result — and the “self identification” — are complete nonsense and you’re a fool for taking them seriously.
BroJo,
It was Mr Teach who relied on the NYT/Siena poll to make his point. I thank him for the it. I merely looked at his source. I highly recommend it. Do you feel/believe that the NYT is less reliable than Gateway Pudendum, Daily Caller, FOX, OAN, Newsmax, etc?
You’re a fool for not relying on any source except your own imaginations.
I had not heard that Putin caused inflation.
Rimjob’s preferred source of propaganda.

I won’t be surprised if sometime before the election we get to see Elwood P Dowd standing behind a podium with his right hand raised and his left hand on the Koran stating: ” I, Jeffrey L Keene do solemnly swear the testimony I’m about to give is true so help me stalin.” That will be the opening testimony in the trial of President Trump for his business is making money while he was in office. I figured it’s only a matter of time for the left to decide that a president who actually is in business before he’s president can’t continue to earn from that business while he’s president. And they’ll find themselves a nice young communist negress to prosecute him in an area with only Democrat jury persons and radical left judges. And they’ll nod their heads with approval thinking it’s all just wonderful, fair and democratic.
It’ll be something new for the five pigs on the view to piss all over their seats about. That show cracks me up they’re all privileged millionaires and they’re all victims. Every day they’re crying about something and they get their limos and go home to their mansions. A bunch of phonies they’re just like every other person on the left.
That moon-faced prick Vindman should have been shot for dereliction of duty and violations of the chain of command. I mean who the fuck does that pissant think he is.
Maybe because you were too busy searching under your bed for those “Christian Nationalists”?
That seems to be the newest propaganda theme amongst your ilk since they cannot point to any valid accomplishments by Brandon and the current regime.
Better hurry and respond before your wifey gets back home from church.
The NYT is not worthy to line a bird cage.
None of that other shit matters because you’re deflecting from the fact that if we taught economics properly and had a “media” that did as they say they do, the Democrat party would cease to exist and most of its leadership jailed for malfeasance.

And here I thought they were unable to perceive basic realities.
I stand corrected.
We’re still doomed.
